Ruby red, Gordon Finest Red astonishes with its inimitable and pronounced fragrance. Its darkly tinted colour matches its fiery temperament. Neither brown nor pale, it is reminiscent of sumptuous Scottish landscapes, falling asleep with the sheep in the dusk, as the sun sets over the never-ending Highlands. Gordon Finest Red, round and REDoubtable by nature !

Can in Brugge. Pours a dark clear amber with a frothy beige head. Light aromas of hop and spice. Somewhat sweet aroma. Medium plus body with frothy carbonation. Flavor is malt and hop. Maybe some kandi. More malt liquor than lager in my view. Also seems a bit salty. Pass.

Bottle, thx to fonefan. A clear, amber beer with a small, beige head. Fruity-sweet nose with caramel and a tiny roasted note. Caramel, sweetness and fruits in the flavor, a little alcohol towards the bitterness, and also some bitterness. Medium, silky mouthfeel and a caramel-sweet finish with bitterness. Dangerously quaffable at 8.4% ABV. (080412)

Canned. Clear dark amber. Ethanol aroma. Sweet and syrupy, metallic and garsh. There are som ne substance, like notes of grassy hops, but it’s dominated by an alcoholic burn.

Sampled draught at Thembi, Maastricht.
Brownish amber with creamy rich head. Huge on caramel in the nose. Very sweet. Malty start but vanishes into a sugary, syrupy finish. Feels one-dimensional and industrial.
