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.

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.

pours a clear copper, amber color with a nice one finger off white head. aroma is a faint hops with a better than average faint lager smell. has a light body with some lacing. the flavor is a little sweet better than average lager taste and there is a flavor that i can not make out, but it is good like a little sugar cane or something. it also has a small dry hoppy aftertaste as well. awsome lager one of the best i have had i would mark it higher if it had a stronger aroma.

Had to fight pretty hard to get a decent head on this one. Off white and thin with minimal carbonation. Weak aroma with some bready malts, bit of bitter hops and yes as willblake says, pretzel like. Color is a bright dark amber. Light malts and a bit of sweetness. Hint of bitterness from the hops. Little dry and astringent at the finish. Decent brew.

23.11.06 12oz bottle dated best before Oct06, thanks to OhioDad. I know I’ve had this an I’m surprised I’ve never rated it. Well, it’s good as I recalled. Nice pretzel-like malt profile, medium to full bodied, slightly sweet with notes of honey, plum, and graham, and a quick, herbal, earthy hop finish. Reminds of Flying Fish Oktoberfish.
