7.3/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 8 Flavor 6 Texture 8 Overall 6
Bottle. Orange, lime, caramel malt, pine, and orange peel aroma - fruity and nice. Hazy golden yellow with large eggshell white head. Moderately sweet orange, lime, caramel malt, and moderately bitter lime peel/pine flavor. Body a bit heavy for an IPA.

Third Wave IPA from Christian Moerlein Brewing Company
9 years ago
3.8/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 7 Flavor 3 Texture 2 Overall 2
12 oz green can. Somewhat rude dull IPA nose. Rocky alabaster head. Taste is strong pointed IPA piercings. Whew, terribly on style nasty mah fah. Barely over 6%, this tastes like 8%. Stronger mouth coating medicinal blunt IPA with a perfumy edge. Bursting floral resin. Not sure if I can handle this viscous brew. I really think this stuff is penetrating the double impy IPA territory. Whew. I don’t like IPA and this stuff is a good reason why I don’t. Except for the mild flowery nose and its effects on the palate, this stuff is some of the nastier IPA around, so I guess that you will like it. GO FOR IT & ignore my numbers, heheheh. This lager lover is not impressed with the attitude of these IPA.

Bock Beer from Christian Moerlein Brewing Company
9 years ago
7.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7
From old tasting notes. Amber red color with a creamy tan head. Fragrant toasted malt aroma. Bittersweet toasted malt flavor is subtle yet tasty. Good balance and flavor make this a quality brew. It still has a way to go to compare with the bocks of Germany.

8.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 9 Flavor 9 Texture 8 Overall 8.5
Many thanks to my SecretSanta nimbleprop for this bottle! Black currant in the nose, wood. Fantastic deep Bourbon malty beginning. Deep, round and dry. Intense round and malty with lots of smooth wood. Bourbon without sweetness. Fresh wood, deep. Intense without being too alcoholic. Great intense deep malty Bourbon aftertaste. Fascinating!

6.3/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 8 Overall 6
Can: Hazy gold with a thick, off-white head. Orange, grain, caramel aroma. Taste is orange/butterscotch.....pretty tangy at first.....orange-candy-like. It’s different....and really not bad after the initial "twang" to it.
