Great Lakes Eliot Ness

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.

typical amber pour, beige head. Nice malt profile, and just enough hops. Extremely well balanced, and i could drink this forever. One of the most balanced beers i have ever had, a true session beer.

Reminds me a lot of a Sam Adams... only slightly better. Pours a nice amber color with small head and decent lacing. Smell of hops and sweet malt are present. Mouth feel is quite heavy for a lager. Spicy and crisp hop finish with a bit of sweetness.

Pours a reddish amber color with a one-finger off-white head. Aroma is mostly malty, with some hops and sweetness in the offering. Spicy hoppyness is evident as it comes across the tongue. Medium mouthfeel with a lingering floral taste. Nice beer.

12 oz. bottle. Pours amber with a medium sized frothy cream head. Aroma is caramel, malt, biscuit, and overall very inviting. Taste follows with rich malt sweetness and a surprising hop bite in the finish to keep it from being too cloying. Incredibly drinkable.

12oz bottle. Pours deep amber with a nice creamy head. Perfectly balanced malts and hops with subtle caramel sweetness make this an extremely drinkable brew. A real winner.

WARNING! May have had a bad sample, based on others’ ratings. The aroma was malt-dominated with slight hop overtones. Taste is lacking hops completely and malt tastes funny. Not a good funny either. Cloying sour flavor with minimal sweetness. Strange from such a malty brew. Disappointing. There are much better ambers out there.

12oz - Nice amber pour under dark tan head, substantial froth of small bubbles. Honey on nose. Light wood in the front, offsetting a bitter, flat aftertaste. This tastes like a bad bottle. Looking at nearby recent ratings I’m wondering if they’ve had a bad batch.
