May 20, 2006 OK. Seems like it had a vegetal note to it. Still some nice caramel aromas and flavors to it. Not my favorite GL beer, but not bad.

May 13, 2006 Beer at the Pier. Nice reddish color. Nice malt aroma. The flavor is of hops and caramelized malt. A very good beer.

May 6, 2006 On tap @ Eddie George’s grill, and actually sitting next to Eddie George. Amber pour with an off white head. Aroma has some caramel and hops. Flavor has is mostly caramel up front followed by a nice hoppiness that makes this really drinkable. To this day I really don’t know why there isn’t a sixer of this in my fridge at all times. I could probably be happy drinking exclusively from Great Lakes, but where’s the fun in that?

May 3, 2006 Thanks for sharing Derek! Great stuff. Sampled along side Sam Adams Boston Lager. Both good, but this one stands out as the winner. Deep copper pour with a thin beige froth. Lots of caramel in the nose, followed by lots of munich and some hops to balance. Also, slight smoke is there. Very sweet malt flavours, with smoked peatm burnt sugars, and balancing dry hoppiness. Silky smooth! Why cant this be my everyday drinker? Ohh I know, cause I can’t get it here. :) THanks Derek!

Apr 28, 2006 Pours reddish copper with a small white head. The aroma is roasted malt with some clean caramel. It is medium bodied with a slick feel and medium/sharp carbonation. The tast is rich roasted caramel with a sharp hop bite. The taste is crisper than the description suggest. The finish is sour hoppy - the sourness seems right, not like something went wrong causing it. The finish becomes more of a clear bitterness further down the glass. Nice beer.

Apr 25, 2006 Updated: Apr 27, 200612oz bottle acquired in trade with OhioDad (thanks!). Poured a deeper, and clear, copper color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of caramel, a little earthy and somewhat spicy. Tastes of caramel, biscuit, and toasted nuts. Body a tad on the thin side.

Apr 20, 2006 This was OK. I didn’t dislike it but it is a hoppy beer which is something I don’t like. The sourness is what turns be off. I like flavor and the sweetness found here is pleasent, but the over hopping keep it from being a beer I would seek out again. Looks good color wise but though I was born in Cleveland this is only average
