Feb 10, 2003 2/10/03: bottle. medium head when poured, lessening to a medium to small ring of carbonation. evident lacing. deep, sexy reddish- brown colour. sweet, malty nose. impressive palate. malty with some hops and subtle hints of floral. nice amount of carbonation left on my tongue. i’d love to find this one on tap. a good example of the reason for me falling in love with Amber back in the day.

Jan 2, 2003 Extremely enjoyable Vienna Amber that’s worth the search to find it on tap. I regular drink the Eliot Ness and Dortmunder Gold every time I visit Cleveland, but have yet to try either (or any other Great Lakes) brew straight from the bottle although they appear to be readily available citywide. Sadly, these brews are near impossible to find west of the Rockies.
Pours deep red with a real beefy head. Nice blend of hops and malt providing both an enjoyable smell and even better taste. Enjoyable all the way round.

Jul 1, 2003 (bottled). Deep, bright copper hue with a soft malty nose & a faint floral hop presence. Medium-bodied feel leads off with chewy toasted malt sweetness and ends with spicy bitterness and a faintly sour plum or fig suggestion that doesn't seem out of character. Lingering bitterness stays spicy. Great!

Jan 1, 2005 Deep sparkling copper body topped by a foamy light tan head with stringy lacing. The aroma is pure malty vienna lager. Lightly nutty, notes of butter and hops. Subtle but nice aroma. The flavor is briliant. Nutty sweet bitterness that is simply divine. Extremely drinkable. Medium body lightly dry finsih. One of the best viennas out there. Thanks Dan, though you still owe me. ;)

Oct 14, 2003 I had this on tap at the brewery. The color is dark. It has a nice sweet yet hoppy smell. The flavor does not disappoint. It is another well balanced great lakes beer. It tastes like a dark, stronger dortmunder gold.

Jul 11, 2006 Thanks OhioDad. Gorgeous clear deep amber beer, thin off-white head. Sweet toast and caramel, Munich malt, very clean, but rich malt character. Flavour is toasty with a hint of brown sugar. Noble hop aroma and flavour throughout. Great balance and flavour. Creamy body. LIngering breadiness with herbal noble hops. Refreshing, complex, clean and very well made. Their lagers are first-rate.

Feb 11, 2006 pours deep brownish amber with slight head. smells of caramel and starts off with hearty flavors like a stout, but finishes cleanly and crispy like a lager. a delicious mix of flavors

Jul 20, 2006 Copper color, when poured properly it has very little head. Noteable hop and grain aroma. Both bitter and sweet at the same time, wholly unlike ligher lagers or black lager- much richer. Tasting notes: Nuts, yeast, grain and a hint of brown spice; taste lingers well after the beer is gone.
