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.

Draft. Amber pour, orangish head. Aroma is caramel. Flavor was sweet but smooth caramel, a little bit of hops touched through. This beer got even better as it warmed up a touch. Nice balance.

Nice amber color with a minimal white head. The crystal malt and sugar experience is my favorite thing about this guy. Some bitter hops in the flavor but only slightly.

Dark amber lager with a roasted malt & slight hoppy aroma. Has a sweet malt flavor with balanced with hops. Great example of an underrepresented lager style.

12 oz bottle. Ruby amber with a thin off-white head. Big malty aroma. Nicely balanced flavor with the malt shining through. Clean lager finish. Extremely drinkable.

A great lager, available at many of the local bars-- but best at the brewery. Very nice balance of hops and malt. Easy to drink.

One of the best lagers out there. Great lakes is doing great. Their porter and pale are are far and away tops.
