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.

An amber beer with a disappearing orange head. The aroma is sweet and very fruity combined with notes of caramel, and a touch of alcohol. The flavor has primary notes of caramel, and a dry mouthfeel that starts quite early, and leads to a bitter hoppy end.

Brownish red. Large tan head fades at a medium pace and leaves a small lacing. Malt dominated the aroma, caramel, raisin, oak. Medium to full body, lightly carbonated. Big malty flavor with very little hop presence. Low bitterness. Clean finish. I think this is the highest rated vienna, but for my money Brooklyn Lager blows this away.

Great looking beer! It is a cool orange color with a tan head. There is a ton of malt in the aroma and in the taste. Very sweet with a nice little bitter bite that stays around. There is also a lot of dark fruit that adds a nice complexity. Some caramel hints can be found as well. Great beer!

Bottle. A very good lager. Lagers are not my beer of choice but I’ll give anything from GL a shot. I found this beer to be much more favorable on tap. Nice amber, copper color with off head average head. Smell is a bit flat, malty, tea. Flavor is malty, a hint of fruit, tea, nutty a bit. A touch of hoppiness at the finish. A smooth lager.
