Commercial Description:
Deep Amber red color, with a fragrant malt aroma. Flavorful notes of rich caramelized malt and noble hop flavors harmonize on the palate leading to a crisp clean finish. Named after one of Cleveland's most respected safety directors, who frequented the brewpub's bar during his tenure from 1935-1941 and, according to popular legend, was responsible for the bullet holes still evident today.

Poured reddish with a nice whitish head. Nice sweetish aroma. Good blend of maltiness and hop bite, kind of non-descript, but is very drinkable. This brewery seems to do a consistenly good job with the middle of the road brew styles and making them a little more interesting.

First time rating this style so I can’t compare to others. On tap, reddish amber with an impressive head. Malty aroma with some nose tingling hops in there. Sweet and bitter flavor almost like a backwards Burning River. Very clean mouthfeel and finish. This beer is not overpowering in any area but still has a lot of flavor.

12oz Bottle Pours out a nice amber topped with a cream head. Aroma of malt and a touch of hops. Tast more on the malty side with a light bitterness at the end. A good Vienna

Bottle acquired via trade with polomagnifico...THANKS RYAN!!! This is a great beer. Of late, I’ve noticed that many "amber" beers feel like they have to kick in an overwhelming amount of hops. With Lagunitas Lucky 13, I thought it worked. With Green Flash’s Hop Head Red, I didn’t. This one is a throw back to the traditional amber we all used to know and love. Red bordering burnt orange in color. Crystal clear, with impressive carbonation and an ivory head that leaves significant lacing inside of the glass. Aroma is toffee, caramel, and a hint of roasted nuts. Flavor is mostly malt, with just enough hops to balance it out. Highly drinkable...clean and refreshing. Wish this was available in AZ!!!
