An XXXtra Strong lager, Gordon Finest Platinum, a pure gem with great character, is at the very top of the strong lager category. Its high degree of alcohol gives it a powerful taste and an undeniable virility, heritage of the famous Gordon Highlander regiments. A force to be reckoned with, as though extracted from rocks that are millions of years old. Try if you can ! Gordon Finest Platinum, the most exclusive of strong sensations; in moderation of course !

50cl can from Delhaize. Pours clear dark golden with a quickly thinning, white head. The weak aroma contains maize, malt, alcohol, artificial sweetener and something chemical like solvent. It tastes medium to heavy sweet, hardly any bitterness, with burning and biting alcohol in the finish (which overpowers a cloying sweetness, even). Fizzy carbonation, slick texture, astringent alcoholic finish. At least the ’aroma’ is stronger than in the Finest Gold version. Utterly avoidable.

Can at THT, bought when I was drunk in Belgium. Clear golden with small white head. Sweet cardboard, pils malts, massive sugar, light herbs, pure alcohol. Basically just sugar and alcohol. Very very sweet. Over medium bodied.
