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.

Great crimson colour with an excellent off-white head that lasts and lasts! Sweet smell with hints of fruit! Nice combination of early hops and latter malt create a nice feel in the mouth, and a great aftertaste. Once again, not one of my favourite styles, but this brewery definately has something going for them!!!

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.

Thanks to Miketd for this one. It is the best Vienna I can remember having since traveling in central Europe. Amber color and moderate carbonation. Smooth, full malt flavor throughout, lightly roasted grain, mildly bitter, and some bread taste.

Bright copper color with slight reddish tint, medium white head that dissipated quickly. Sweetish malty aroma, hints of pine. Rich and malty, dark and sweet, like eating a loaf of bread. Ever so slightly roasted, tobacco, buttery smooth. Lingering bread finish, little bit metallic. Very well balanced. Delicious! Great Lakes brings the lager to the US.

Sweet malt aroma with an unusual hint of sweet potato. Copper with little head. Very light and refreshing with hints of caramel malt. The malt profile becomes more pronounced as it warms. A very nice reward after mowing grass in the Florida summer heat.

The commercial description says it for me. This deep amber brew is full of solid malt flavor with a nice balance on the hops. Full-bodied and refreshing with a crisp finish, this beer reminds a hop-head like me that lagers can be damned good drinks.

Bottle. Pours medium amber w/ small light tan head. Nose is caramel and nutty. NIce and thick with lots of nuts, caramel. Light hopps come through in the nose and taste as the beer warms.

Poured with a good creamy head, a brilliant red color, and a nice aroma of sweet malt. It warmed up slightly as I drank it, and made for a nice smooth syrupy finish.
