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.

Beautiful ruby color with small tan head and little lacing. Aroma and flavor have rich caramelly malt and nice balance of hops. Easy to drink and great all around.

Holy crap what a superb vienna. This blows away any other that I’ve had. Aroma was good...caramel malt and some hops. Pour was a dark amber with a one finger off white head. Taste was very strong...caramel malt all the way with just a bit of hops in the background. Medium mouthfeel and decent carbonation. Very strong and tasty for a vienna.

poured a thin looking amber color with a thin white head. Aroma was a mix of caramel and some floral hops. Flavor was a tad nutty with a mild sweet finish. kinda watery.

Not bad, but not great. I found it to be a bit nutty. It isn’t a very strong taste or very hoppy. Great Lakes is a good brewery but I find this a bit boring.

Amber pour with little head. Sweet caramel malts up front with a hoppy finish. Very well balanced and enjoyable.

This lager poured a dark orange colour with a nice off white head. To the nose it had scents of apple sauce, sweet malt, caramel and dough just to name a few. Tasted very hoppy with a bitter finish. Almost a light flavour of cider and caramel. Palate was hoppy with the bitterness lasting.

Pours an amber color with very little head. Aroma is malty with a hint of caramel. Up front it tastes malty, then gets a little bitter, and finishes off slightly nutty.
