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.

Dark amber pour with light tan head that quickly disappears. Nose is filled with sweet malts, caramel, toast, flowery hops, grain. Very sweet and only a hint of bitterness at the finish. Moderately acidic. Moderately long finish, too. Medium to full body, watery texture and fizzy carbonation. Well put together. Very good.

Wow! Now this is a great brew. Pours out a deep amber color with a thick beige head. Aroma is sweet, malty and a bit fruity. Flavor is very much the same. I found it very difficult not to gulp this brew. Outstanding job!

Bottle from bgburdman9. Amber color with small lacing type head. Malty/milky aroma. The taste was malty and nutty with clean roasted finish. Good brew.

Pours a bright amber with a one and a half finger head. Aroma is of malts and hops with some fruity tones. Taste is smooth and malty and the hops really shine through as well. One of my favorite lagers for a long time, definitely worth a try if you haven’t had one before.

Color is pure copper. Light malty aroma. Dark fruit flavor. Bitter finish, kind of makes me pucker a bit but good.

clear and red. limited head. smells earthy, caramel-appleish. sweet malty aroma, kinda lagerish, which surprised me since i was expecting an amber ale. somewhat empty flavor. surprisingly carbonated. after a few sips i like the sorta lingering syrupy finish. a bit light on the flavor/palate overall, but i can appreciate this.
