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.

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!

In the bottle at the 2007 Baburek backyard vintage beer tasting. Deep reddish amber in color with an off white head. This has a great toasted aroma. Flavors is mildly coffee roasted with a marshmellow sweetness blended in. Caramel perhaps. Tasty.

A beautiful amber colored Vienna. The malt flavor is incredibly rich and creamy. Caramel sweet flavors with a perfect bitter finish.

This is my favorite lager produced in this region. If I were to describe this beer in two words they would have to be "fruity malt" then I’d add in words like carmel and hops, shortly after I’d add the question "Hey, can I get another?".

Amber in colour with thick orangy head that dissipated quickly. Sweet malty smell with a mix of fruits and some alcohol. Tastes a little caramel and sweet but has quite a hoppy bitter aftertaste.

An excellent beer withall the qualities a beer should have. Words cannot describe beer made like this one. If you want an accurate review of this beer, buy some. You won’t be sorry.

(Bottle) Pours an amber brown color with off-white head. Full malty character, with lots of caramel and some light toffee notes. Above average mouthfeel, with a relatively low level of carbonation. A nice session beer.
