Great Lakes Eliot Ness

From a bottle at The Rusty Bucket. It had a very bold and full taste for a Lager. I would agree that it has its own taste.

a reasonable enough vienna, nice and malty lager with plenty of character. I think what I like about this beer is that it is quite original while maintaining it’s old school roots. nice.

9/12/2007: Great Lakes Eliot Ness is amber in color with a foamy beige head. The aroma and flavor are earthy and contain a nice caramel/toffee maltiness and just enough earthy bittereness to create a very well-balanced beer. This medium-bodied beer is smooth and very drinkable. This is a solid Vienna lager that will hopefully get more and more people interested in the the style.

12 fl. oz. bottle at the Newtown Village Tavern. Thanks for buying the rounds Tom (Tmoney99). I really appreciate it! Rating #451 for this beer...

A tasty looking clear amber with a big foamy white head, vanishing. Sweet caramel doppelbock smell with a hint of floral to peppery hops. A bit of toast and oddly, cinnamon? Full on the palate. Substantial with low carbonation. Still not too thick of the style. full rich sweet malt. Caramel, a bit of toast. Floral to peppery hops with a hint of alcohol popping in. this sems more doppelbock than vienna, but very nice. A bit chewy. Some diacetyl. Tannic toast, alcoholic bit in the finish.

The aroma is malty, sweet caramel. The appearance is a clear amber, the head is off white, mostly diminishing, good lacing. The initial flavor is a slight sweet and a little bitter. The finish is slightly watered own from the initial taste. Teh body is light, the texture mostly watery with a slight creaminess. The carbonation is soft.

350 ml bottle mail order form Archerliquor. Clear reddish amber with a fizzy white head. Wheat bread aroma. Sweet caramel and bready taste with a nice crisp finish. Not bad.

12oz bottle. Best by 10/22/07. Pours a deep amber color with a small, quickly fading white head. Aroma is pretty standard lager, though pleasant. Honey, slightly toasted malts, a tad sweet, grainy. Crisp, sweet, carmel taste. Smooth and light bodied. Very clean yet still flavorful. I’m not a big lager guy but Great Lakes certainly makes some of the best in the country.

Thanks for the bottle from The Epeeist. Darker amber color. 1/2 finger head with a strong pour. Hoppy aroma on pour fades to a medium intensity melanoidal caramelized malt aroma. Nice aroma. Medium sweet to dry. No off flavors. Nice amber!
