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 from the Beerman6686. Nice amber color with a thin lasting head. Aroma is nice sweet toasted bread with a touch of fruity darker caramel malts. Flavor is sweet and toasted, a bit fruity with a super clean crisp finish. Not overly hoppy, just enough bitterness to clean the palate. Just plain well made and easy to drink.

Perfect color for style, nice head, good flavor. Much too hppy for a true Vienna Lager. The hops overpower the malt. Still a very good beer, just not great for the style.

bottle. Aroma is nice and malty with some hops present near the finish. Notes of bread, malt, caramel. Sparkling red amber with an average sized off-white head that diminished but remained and left good lace. Flavor is bread, caramel, malt, and a little bitter on the finish. Palate is light bodied and lively carbonation. Quite nice actually. A good one.

On tap, pours amber with a thin off white head. Both the aroma and the flavor of the beer is of malt and caramel. Easily drinkable and another solid brew from Great Lakes.

12oz bottle-A light to medium amber body with a small ring for a head and an aroma of roasted malt and a little caramel. Taste of this medium bodied brew is of malt and sweetness. A nice tasting brew.

Thanks to Mike for this one. Dark amber color with a creamy beige head that doesn’t last long but leaves a thick ring at the edge of the glass. Aroma is light. Caramel malt mostly. Flavor has a velvety texture mingling with the heavy malt flavors, lightly balanced with hops.
