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 !

Bottled 330ml (from BBF, BB 11/2016)
Clear amber-golden color, small white head. Aroma is skunky and grassy with notes of cardboard. Medium-bodied. Green apple, harsh alcohol, like C-grade vodka flavor, some paper. Lacks totally finest Belgian yeast flavors. Booze bomb.

Dorada anaranjada y sin apenas espuma. El aroma es alcohol. Poco más. Y en boca es un aguardiente con sabor a malta, no mucho mas. Mala.

Foam: with almost no head. Colour: clear golden colour. Aroma: fruity and malty, alcohol. Taste: malty, fruity, some metallic tones, a lot of alcohol, bitterness is also present, hard to say more, don´t try it, I just want to know what kind of beer are there still drinking strange individuals here in Bruxelles, it really warms up, reminds me similar Amsterdam Maximator which is malt liquor too, but in this case Gordon is much better.

Helder geel bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is licht zoet en sterk, toffee en fruit, ietwat banaan en sinaasappel. Smaak blijft lang hangen. Lijkt erop dat het percentage belangrijker is dan de smaak. Niet echt bijzonder.

Another alcoholic strong lager in this series, with pretentious bottle, afterwards sold in 50 cl cans as well. Thin, bit creamy, off-white head, colour golden blonde with warm orange hue, clear. Rather weak, sweet aroma of orange peel, orange juice, honey, iron, lots of brandy- and rhum-like alcohol and solvents. Sweet sugary onset, orange, medium carbonation, quickly overpowered by an astringent, way too strong alcohol effect, which makes the finish utterly unpleasant along with the sticky sweetness from the beginning. It does not surprise me that the 50 cl cans mostly attract notorious alcoholics these days, who do not care about flavour at all as long as they can get drunk.

Can consumed at Truck Festival, Steventon, Oxon, Friday 18th July 2014 Loz’s less than impressed reaction was, along the lines of ’what the hell is this’ - ’a 12% beauty’ I tell her. This is proper park bench material. Golden in colour, quite heavy, hugely strong few redeeming features but if you want summat that’ll send yer’ blotto look no further. A5 A4 T6 P3 Ov11 2.9

Ins Glas ergießt sich ein hell bernsteinfarbenes Bier mit ordentlicher Schaumkrone. Geruch sehr malzig süß, leicht alkoholisch. Geschmack süß malzig, getreidig, leicht alkoholisch.

0,33 flaske deltmed Willy, som hadde den med hjem fra Spania: syltynne skar både hva aroma og smak angår. Imponerende at det går an å lage så sterkt men allikevel smakløst øl. En kvalmende sødme vil være det jeg husker den for. Finest, my foot.
