Zum Schluss kamen 3 Xplosion-Getränke aus dem Hause Gordon im Zug 🚆 nach Hause zur Verkostung. Diese waren alle grauslich, aber dieses ganz besonders. Es war eine Mischung aus Industrialkohol 🍸und chemischen Aromen⚗️, das nach einem Schluck schon dieZunge wegätzte. Bitte nicht probieren🚱.

A new Gordon Xplosion - one can wonder why, but apparently this series is successful enough to be continued by Anthony Martin... This one is flavoured with apple and blueberry. Can from a Carrefour supermarket. Thick and moussy, egg-white, shred-lacing, pillowy and very stable head, misty amber robe with vague ruddy-brownish tinge. Aroma of candyfloss, red Haribo candy, industrial apple juice of the worst possible quality, red lemonade (the blueberry element I guess), apple-scented air freshener, children's tooth paste with fruit flavour, bubblegum, cheap wodka, methylated spirits. Sugary onset in an awfully tooth-cloying way, red candy and apple shampoo, fizzy carb, slick body; an artificial sourish element runs underneath, coming from the added industrial citric acid. Slight metallic edges round a thin, empty and adjunct-laden cerealliness, some pale malt but largely replaced with sugars, and then this granulated sugar sweetness, apple shampoo effect and lemonade citric acidity are all that remains, except for a chemical, wry bitterness suddenly popping up in the end, as if methylated spirits were poured in, saving the best for last with a burning booze... The sugars grate the enamel from my teeth and as usual with this series, that chemical wryness and sharp booze make me worry about losing my eyesight after three sips of this infernal liquid. Another lovely addition to this dreadful series, scraping the very bottom of what beer can be at its worst; the guy who keeps inventing these Xplosions should formally be denied access to all places beer-related. Terrible as expected - though admittedly perhaps a tad less so than the very worst in this series - and immediate drain pour.

Pours unclear peachy, small white head. Scent is raw, green apple candy. Taste is sharp, drying, apple candy. Syrup, chemical and not great at all, but not nearly as bad as the other monstrocities in the series. If anything, this beer is dissapointingly average. I wanted people to try this as usually, Xplosion are the worst beers money can easely buy. However, this one is 'regular bad' not 'seek it out bad' . :/

11/IX/21 - 50cl can @ BBGG Summer Edition (Klaas & Liesbeth's place), BB: 14/IV/23, L11257 (2021-1017) Thanks to 77ships for sharing the can!

Clear reddish pale amber to almost pink red beer, small creamy irregular off-white head, unstable, bit adhesive. Aroma: lots of apple juice, apple flavoured candy, rather artificial but also real apples at the same time, a bit chemical. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: sweets start, lots of apple juice, gentle bitterness, sugary, alcohol touch, yeasty. Aftertaste: sugary, alcohol, -dry, some apple skin, sweet, apple flavoured candy, meh. Not as bad as anticipated though… :p
