Sep 17, 2006 Updated: Jul 4, 2007Sampled at Great Lakes. This one got sort of lost in the bunch at the great lakes samplefest. Got to see the bullet holes on the tour by the by... anyway, the beer pours a nice dark amber. Spicy raisin hops and dark fruit on the palate. Moderately thorough roasted malts and some lighter dry malts thrown in. A smooth brew that I will need to redrink.

Aug 1, 2002 It made me blink a lot. Not bad, not great. An above average beer but not one I truly recommend. The commercial description is fairly accurate (not as aromatic as they claim).

Nov 28, 2008 Great Lakes Eliot Ness is a very clear, very sparkling amber beer with a very dense, creamy, off-white head that shows outstanding retention and lacing. It has a very fresh, malty aroma with maybe a bit of citrus. It has a medium-light body with a dry finish. It’s a mellow flavor that’s a touch sweet, with a slightly fruity bitterness.

Jul 27, 2008 Pours brown in color with ruby brown highlights around the edges. Nice frothy inch of head forms on the pour. Smell is all malt and some sweetness. Very metallic/off flavor in the taste. Gets a bit cloying as well. First beer I’ve had from Great Lakes that has been subpar.

Nov 17, 2001 Not my favorite style but again well done. The sweetness is not overwhelming

Feb 25, 2003 Deep amber with a malty, caramel aroma with a definite sweetness. Hops present at end; very dry. Slightly stale sample, doesn't measure up to the other beers I've had from Great Lakes. Lots of carbonation.

Oct 23, 2007 Pours an amber color with very little head. Aroma is malty with a hint of caramel. Up front it tastes malty, then gets a little bitter, and finishes off slightly nutty.

Feb 7, 2006 Bottle. Nice deep clear amber on the pour. Very nice head. Scents of fruit and malt. Some bitterness on the palate, but also peach and apples and some sweetness. Very smooth and balanced. Thanks Beervana.
