I chanced across the rehabbing of the Over-The-Rhine pub "The Elder Cafe" (in the Findlay Market district) and the workmen there invited me in for a beer. As my mother didn't raise any fools, I gladly accepted the invite and found myself with a 13 hours old "Moerlein O.T.R. Ale" in my hand and Greg Hardmann himself right beside me!

From a twelve ouce bottle at the Elder Cafe in the "Over The Rhine" neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio - This one pours a reddish-brown ale with a fine, thick, lasting tan head and a floral, sweet malty aroma posessing undertones of Cascade and Fuggles hops. Tastewise, this is a very balanced and hearty brew, with a three malt formula and very pleasant finish.
