Eliot Ness
The brewery's amber lager, named, as it admits, somewhat paradoxically after the best-known agent of Prohibition, who later served as Cleveland's safety director and drank at the bar of today's brewpub. The grist of two-row, Munich, Cara 45 and Caramel 30 is hopped only with Mt. Hood. It pours a deep amber-red. Toasted bread, caramel and a nutty note fill the nose, the palate adds light biscuit and a floral, spicy hop layer, and the finish is dry and crisp.
