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.

Bottle. Pours a transparent rusty red with a short light tan head. Aroma of light earthy, grassy/citrus hops, toasted malt, caramel, light booze soaked fruits. Flavors of caramel, candied fruit, earthy hops, bready toasted malt and even a tinge of light smoke. Medium body, sturdy carbonation...malty/sweet/slightly dry with a earthy/bittersweet/malty finish. Overall pretty well balanced all around...a great session brew for spring/fall.

A Mes rate: Bottle at Tom’s UGT Pt. 2.Dark amber with a thin white rim. Rich bready malt aroma. Roasted malt flavour with a bit of alcohol showing in the finish. Straight down the line and rather dull.

Thanks to Miketd for this one. It is the best Vienna I can remember having since traveling in central Europe. Amber color and moderate carbonation. Smooth, full malt flavor throughout, lightly roasted grain, mildly bitter, and some bread taste.

Deep amber with thin off-white head. Aroma of caramel malt & light spice. Pretty much the same in the taste with a mild dry finish. Perhaps a little thin but overall pretty good.
