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 clear copper/brown color with a medium head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of sweet malts, grain, caramel and hops with a bit of a pine note. Taste is toasted malts with sweet-like fruit notes and grassy hops. Light-to-medium bodied. Smooth, and very easy to drink.

This was awesome. So rich and creamy. Nice body and wonderful aroma. Bready, yeast some spice and a light hop presence. Taste is smooth and highly drinkable.

Thanks George. I poured this bottle into my Pilsener glass and it produced a finger worth of white head that turned to a thick lace. The body of the brew was amber to brown. Aromas of caramel malts and bread filled my head. The flavor was malt forward and with a light bitter finish. It had a nice light and crisp feel in my mouth with great carbonation. I really like drinking these great lagers; it is a great change of pace

Pours a lovely amber with a nice head. Slightly hoppy, balanced with malt and a little bitterness. Excellent stuff.

Poured amber with a white head. Aroma of caramel and fruit. Sweet candy caramel with a hint of fruit. Not bad.

Bottle. Amber hue, thin head. Nose is a balance of hops and malt. Smooth body, taste similar to aroma- sweet malt and faint hops for balance. This isn’t terribly complex, but I don’t think that’s what they were going for either. This is a real nice quaffer. Reminds me of a Sam Adams Boston Lager with a touch of cinnamon at the end and a bit more alcohol present. Well made.

12 oz bottle. Pours copper with an average fizzy off white head. Smells of roasted grain and caramel. Some tastes of hops, but mostly roasted malt, toffee, and bread crust. Aftertaste is bitter. Nice body and mouthfeel.
