Great Lakes Eliot Ness from Great Lakes Brewing Company
Rating: A-
Thanks to mymrnngjckt for sending this one my way in the Secret Bunny '07 exchange.
Appearance: Deep amber, almost garnet in color. Two finger head with good retention. Great lacing.
Smell: Lagery-clean, but much deeper and complex than just that... Bready, toasty malts. Caramel, slight citrus hops.
Taste: Toast and biscuit - malt profile is somewhat reminiscent of Fat Tire. Malt is in charge, but there's enough bitterness to balance. Finish is bitter hops, but aftertaste is all toasted malt.
Mouthfeel: Light-medium body, good carbonation. Creamy.
Drinkability: This is a great lager - anyone who thinks lagers are boring should sit down and have one of these. Sessionable for sure. Not surprising to see it's the highest rated Vienna Lager.
Serving type: bottle
