Jul 13, 2006 The Elliot Ness has a great dark amber color to it. I like the change of pace you go through drinking this lager. It has a great smooth mouthfeel with a nice sweet malt taste. The end is has a sharp bitter edge to it, as does the aftertaste. A nice beer to sit and sip on, and another great product from the Great Lakes Brewery."

Jul 11, 2006 Thanks OhioDad. Gorgeous clear deep amber beer, thin off-white head. Sweet toast and caramel, Munich malt, very clean, but rich malt character. Flavour is toasty with a hint of brown sugar. Noble hop aroma and flavour throughout. Great balance and flavour. Creamy body. LIngering breadiness with herbal noble hops. Refreshing, complex, clean and very well made. Their lagers are first-rate.

Jun 16, 2006 Bottle from trade with OhioDad. Poured a deep amber color, almost red, with a thin tan head. The aroma was of wheat bread and some caramel hints. The flavor found malts, wheat, and a hint of citrus hops and fruit background. Medium body that was mainly sweet but had a light bitter hit at the end. Nice! Thanks Scott!!

Jun 15, 2006 Appearance is dark brown/amber almost pruple-y, with virtually no head. Aroma is faily indistinct with some carmel and wheat malt. Flavor is carmel and wheat malt with some molasses and brown sugar and a hint of fruitiness like grapes and lemon.

Jun 13, 2006 via trade with OhioDad - Pours a very clear deep amber color (almost red). Initial head fades to nothing quickly. Very light carbonation. Has a nice grain, grass aroma. Has a light malt sweetness flavor. A smooth hop bitterness comes through at the end. Medium body. A nice, smooth easy drinking beer. Thanks Scott.

Jun 10, 2006 I hesitate to call it a well crafted amber lager but I feel it deserves to be. Pours a wonderful deep red with a dissapointing head. The flavors are rich full of sweet malts. These wonderful flavors need to stand out more and give me a good kick.

Jun 10, 2006 Bright amber color with medium tan head that lingers thru half glass and good lacing. Aroma was apples and bananas, with a hint of grapes. Initial flavor was the fruits, some hops and malt. At mid-glass, taste became more malty, and alcohol, though only 6.2 ABV, was more noticeable. A good smooth warming finish. I had heard there were freshness and dating questions with these Great Lakes Brews, but I’ve had no complaints so far with this or Dortmunder.
