Ever since 1992, Gordon Finest Gold has been inspiring a gold rush. This incomparable strong Scottish style lager shares the values of its clan : pride in its origins, the strength of its typical and powerful taste, and the nobility of its refinement. Through this incomparable emblem of the range, Anthony Martin has definitively adjudicated between the clans.

330ml can from Carrefour Express in Brussels, Belgium. Happy Independence Day! Pours a crystal clear gold color with an off-white head and good retention. Decent lacing. Light booze aroma. Very bland, nondescript flavor with a slightly boozy finish. Not much going on. Medium-light body. Low carbonation. Low bitterness. Low everything. At least the 10% ABV is fairly well hidden.

Can, thx Hrabren! Crystal clear golden body, thick white head, falling apart initially, though the last few milimeters stay longer. Red apple ester, honey, herbal, alcohol. Smooth soft malty taste, alcohol, herbal hop, vague pears, some bitterness, lasting alcohol... Yeeeeah, not terribly offended by it, but it's a no.

0.33 l can from restaurant K Ivi, Zagreb. Shared with Marko. Clear golden, small off-white head. Aroma is alcoholic, malty, fruity, ripe apple, pear, some candy. Some cardboard and dust. Flavour is alcoholic, ethanol, harsh, peppery, astringent. It's like spirit was poured into the beer. Medium body, soft carbonation, smooth texture, dry finish.

clear golden pour, and a small white head. Aroma of alcohol, sweet corny vegetables, and some odd caramel. Flavor is sweet, not cloying, but an odd sweetness. This is really just rocket fuel masquerading as a belgian strong ale.

Pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma of sugary malts, alcohol, not much else. Very nasty booziness to it. I expect more from this brewery. This is dangerously close to the trash alcoholic bums buy at supermarkets.

clear darker golden colour, one inch of creamy ecru-ish white head, which lasts for several minutes; aroma and taste of malty-syrupy, apple, maybe some apricot and alcoholic notes; not that bad as expected based on the ABV and style
