Great Lakes Brewing Company Eliot Ness

**Aroma:** “Very nice sweet raisiny malt is complemented by strong caramel and toffee with a touch of nutty and light plum. The resinous hops nose showcas- es citrus and pine.” **Flavor:** “Hops are aggressively resinous, piney, and citrusy (lemon, oange and grapefruit), but the bitterness stays very steady throughout. LOVE the malt com- plexity: deep caramel and raisin notes, some bready notes, and a little dry chocolate with a light nutty aftertaste. Alcoholic avor is present throughout and strong in the nish.” **Overall:** “This very hops-forward beer is great for the beer lover who enjoys a lot of hops bitterness and piney/citrus avor with an amazing malt pro le thrown in for good measure.”

Yes! Rich malt depth with hints of dried fruit, toffee, and jasmine. Slightly spicy hop bitterness balances perfectly. Very clean finish with enough body for a nice drinking experience. Something a bit beyond light lager, but still has all-day barbeque drinkability.

**Aroma:** “Clean, malty nose with a moderate caramel element. Resinous, earthy, piney, spicy hops add complexity. Nice toasty bread malt aromas. Fresh mineral notes reminiscent of the ocean.” **Flavor:** “Rich, thick, caramelly sweet malt body with some roast. Crystal malt character is strong. Hops give structure to a malt-focused beer. Bitterness in the finish lingers. Mild alcohol flavor with a crisp carbonic bite.” **Overall:** “Full, rich amber lager, much more amber than Vienna. This drinks like a smoother version of an amber ale. Some alcohol warmth. A bit too sweet throughout.”
