Bearing the hallmark of the Gordon clan, Gordon Finest Silver shines as a result of its “blue-eyed blonde” lustre : attractive, emancipated and natural. Its relatively modest alcohol content evokes the freshness of untamed waterfalls and secretive lochs where it is so good to dream. A true cocktail blending the bitterness of the finest of Pils and the roundness of a strong sweeter beer. Gordon Finest Silver, the lustre in the mouth of a 100% silver beer !

clear golden colour, large, dense ecru-ish head, which lasts for several minutes; aroma and taste of linden honey/honeycomb toffee, candy sugar, syrupy, some floral and moderate herbal hoppy notes; well, would definitely be much better if some more hoppy bitterness balanced the syrupy sweetness, but still I enjoyed it

F: average white, not long lasting. C: clear gold. A: malt, caramel, some fruit, hint of grassy hops and alcohol. T: malt, caramel, white/candy sugar, alcohol sweetness on the palate together with some decent hoppy tones at the end, medium body, average carbonation. Average but I don’t expect too much from this.

Can . Pours clear blonde, big but fast fading thick white head . Smell is grainy , maltsyrup . Smells a bit like cornflakes, even . Taste is rather sweet ( malty ) yet with a slight chemical note ( less than expected ) . Good carbonation . Easy drinkable as it does not contain to much taste . This is not shockingly bad ( which is what I expected though ) . Yet this is not supergood either . Its drinkable for sure, but I supose you shall be able to find better stuff nevertheless .

Another Gordon’s "Finest" from a silver coloured can. Snow white head, pale blonde colour, clear. Sweetish aroma, corn, thin and metallic mouthfeel, neutral taste ending in astringent alcohol. Take the awfully sugary Finest Gold and make it more neutral in taste, then this is what you end up with. A disgrace to Belgian beer culture.
