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.

Nice Aroma, Nice color, Great taste. I ordered a Great Lakes Dortmunder Gold, but somehow ended up getting this instead. Decided it wasn't worth complaining about & I'm glad I didn't.

Pours a cloudy amber hue, with a small halo of a slight off-white head. Aromas of roasted malts, honey, a hint of caramel. Mouthfeel is medium bodied wiith flavots of caramel, grain, caramel, and a little bit of roasted nuts. Very nice finish....wow, I am not the biggest vienna fan, not to mention lager fan, but this is very tasty.

From bottle... poured amber with small white head. It was sparkling too. Aroma was nutty with some hops. Somewhat sweet flavor with slightly bitter ending. Not great, but nice.

Very good. I think it’s nice to find a lager with character, and this is exactly that. It’s aroma is present with some hoppy notes. It’s appearance was a bit flat, but rather tempting still with its dark amber. It’s flavor a bit malty, a bit hoppy. It’s palate is exceptionally crisp and clean. Solid stuff.

Pours a deep dark red amber with a off white head with a red hue. Aromas of burnt hops and malts like caramel. Flavor is a little bready with undertones of caramel and crisp hops with a sort of earthy overtone like it was aged or barreled. Clean finish. For some reason when I drink this, its like I’m drinking an "old school" kinda beer.
