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.

12 oz bottle, about 1.5 weeks past its best by date. Pours clear amber with a small white head. Malty biscuit aroma, slightly sweet honey. Sweet honey biscuit flavor with a touch of hops. Honey mostly gives way to more biscuit after a few sips. This is a good, flavorful lager.

Had this in the bottle at Gracie’s underground in Ferndale, MI. I got this beer because of it’s name, and not really knowing the style, but I figured that any beer named after the man responsible for prohiibition was worth a shot. It pours a hazy amber, with a good head. The flavor was a little too bitter for me. It was quite malty, with some piney notes right on the finish. Not a bad beer, but nothing I would ever get again.

From bottle. August Dayton Beer Tasting event - Favorite Summer Brews. Pours a amber color with a decent off-white head. Very malty aroma with more hops than expected. Good mouthfeel with a lingering floral taste. A very good Vienna lager.......

Bottle. Pours pefectly celar amber with a thin off-white head. No lacing. Aroma is potently malty, rich with some evident hop notes. Some spicy hops on the tongue, bready malt and a nice lingering bitteness. Quite good for a Vienna! Full bodied.
