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.

Clear amber brown with tan head. Aroma has a hint on cinnamon spice and even malt? Taste has that same spice flavoring with hint of hops for a dry finish. For style this is a great beer.

Attractive copper pour that produces a huge, tight, long lasting creamy head. Clean malt aroma. Light sweetness with a touch of hop bitterness that leads to a dryness in the finish. I could drink a few of these.

12 oz bottle via trade with Monger, Thanks for the hookup. This is my first Vienna rating, and its been a while since I can remember looking forward to a lager. Pours light amber with a puffy white head that lost half its steam and settled a finger height above the brew. The smell is malty and fresh. Taste is crips and malty, but clearly a different animal when compared to ales. It has a nice full mouth feeling and is quite drinkable.

On tap at the brewery. Clear pale amber pour with a thin light brown head. Good aroma and flavor of biscuity malt and caramel, the malt is round and flavorfull. The body is medium with an oily texture and soft carbonation. A very solid vienna.

Thanks to RagallachMC for the bottle. Clear orange/copper with almost no head. Aroma is generally light, with caramel and nutty malts. Some bitter taste comes in too. Especially at the finish. Medium body. Soft carbonation. Certainly better than average for the style.
