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.

355 mL bottle. Copper orange with a small white head. Malty aroma with a touch of earthy hops. Smooth malty flavour, with just enough hops to balance the sweetness, without getting in the way of the caramel. Just a nice, drinkable beer; nothing fancy.

Ruby pour with a creamy head.Sweet malty nose. Nice creamy palate that is very light on the tongue. Malt seems to be the name of the game with just a little hop bite at the end. Very nice beer. Thanks to hopsrus for this one.

Brewed in the USA....... Courtesy of The Capt, thanks Mark !! Pours a copper color with a medium foamy head. Aroma is of caramel, sweet malts and toffee. Taste of biscuits, nuts and caramel . This Vienna style is clean, sweet and very enjoyable !!!

Bottle. Please enjoy by: 01/13/08. Pours a clear, deep amber body with a one finger-thick tan head. Rich caramel maltiness in the aroma. Solidly medium-bodied. Lots of rich caramel and sweetly roasted maltiness start things off. Finishes with some drying, Corn Flakes-ish graininess. Another excellent job by Great Lakes at a style nobody cares about.

Bottle pours a dark amber color. Has a thin white head that does not last very long. Has a malty aroma followed by a medium mouthfeel. Tastes like a lightly spicy malt brew with little hop flavor or aroma. Good beer for the style.

Great. Poured a nice red with a lacing foam. Aroma is hoppy and sweet caramel. Flavor is hops at first, but is very balanced by sweet caramel.

12oz bottle. Best by 10/22/07. Pours a deep amber color with a small, quickly fading white head. Aroma is pretty standard lager, though pleasant. Honey, slightly toasted malts, a tad sweet, grainy. Crisp, sweet, carmel taste. Smooth and light bodied. Very clean yet still flavorful. I’m not a big lager guy but Great Lakes certainly makes some of the best in the country.
