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.

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.

@ GLBC Beer School, my first vienna, lots of carmel in this brew, almost over powering, but nice and easy drinking very smooth

Bottle pours a nice brownish color with a frothy head. The glass laves nicely as a drink. There is a very sweet malty flavor to this one with a touch of toastyness and caramel. The finish is sweet and smooth, A tasty beer!

[381-20070630] Tap @ Great Lakes (Cleveland, OH). Faintly hoppy grains aroma. Clear, amber red body with a medium-lasting foamy white head. Grainy flavour. Medium body is smooth. Relatively bland compared to its brothers on the table but is repeatable and hides the alcohol well.

The color is amber with a red tint and It has a white head with a red tint. Smells of malt and a bit of hop. The flavor is similar to the aroma. The second Great Lake brew I’ve tried and both are very good.
