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.

Nicely done! Reddish amber color, one finger khaki head, foaming and lasting. Somewhaqt mild aroma, but hints at a toffee like sweetness, a deep earthiness, and some green noble hop. Flavor exquisitely balanced, with a full rounded bready sweetness and a lightly spicy and floral hop character that leads to a medium bitter finish. Clean and well brewed.

Not their best work, but a pretty solid beer. Good balance of malts and decent hopping for an old-school Vienna. Dark chocolate notes and a hint of woody dried fruit. Bit flat in the body and not much in the way of aromatics. Very fresh-tasting.

Nice, and inexpensive at the local grocery store. Will definitely go back to this bottle. Good taste and Great Lakes put out another nice beer.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a beautiful ruby-chestnut color with a large dark tan head. The aroma was sour, tangy and very malty. The flavor was tangy, bitter, nutty, very malty and had a moderate floral hop presence. The finish was long and malty. The body was surprisingly thick. Nice.

Maybe I got a funky bottle, but this is the only GL beer I’ve had so far that I wouldn’t get again. Smell is way too malty and look is very carbanted. The taste is very malty and a little plaiting, nothing that I really like.
