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.

From a bottle, at home, into a pub glass. Wonderful deep red/orange color with a modest, rocky and well maintained head. Nice aroma from this one (others tasted like they weren’t stored well for some reason), smells like a lager, but a tad more rich, with a bit more fruity hops. Taste follows the aroma with a bit more emphasis on a deeper version of the typical lager malt flavour. A beer does lots of things well but is not in any way exceptional, nice and casual, great with grilled food (such as german sausages).

Bottle at Panini’s on the OSU campus. Sorry, but had to blow through this one and get a draft of Blue Moon - another example of a style of beer that just doesn’t do it for me.

Mild toasted sweet malts and butterscotch. Nice fruity hops, mild orange blossom. Dark amber clear with thin off-white lacing head. Medium body with medium carbonation. Starts mildly acidic and bitter, with toasted malt and sugary quality. A bit sweet in the finish with nutty bitterness and some salty after. Decent lager but not remarkable.

Bottle: Aroma of caramel with light hops. Pours a transparent amber with a small white head. Fruit and buttery caramel up front with a well balanced a very tastey grapefruit hop finish. Very good.

Reddish-amber pour with a thin beige head. Very nice malty aroma, with some toffee, caramel, and lighter spices noted. Mouthfeel was very smooth, with flavors of bread, caramel, and brown sugar. Finish was of roasted malts and subtle hops. Very good brew, especially for the style! Would make a fine session beer.

Amber orange color, nice layer of head & lacing. Nose of rich malts; toffee & creme, a soufle of scents. The flavor has a rich reduced flavor, candy cane sweetness & underlying balance. Best Vienna Ever.

One is greeted by a great roasted malt aroma when the beer is poured out. Flavor is much the same, malt and roast fill the palate nicely. Good beer.
