Gordon Finest Red from John Martin

4.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 5 Flavor 3 Texture 6 Overall 4.5
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.

Can in Brugge. Pours dark gold with a frothy white head. Smells of hop and spice. Medium body with frothy carbonation. Seems a bit salty. Flavor of hop and malt, but suggests a malt liquor. Oops. Fooled me. Tastes like one too.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a hazed natural cider colored (yellow) body. Small white head that fades. Aroma of apple, some spice, jasmine, wheat, slight barnyard and an earthy note. Taste is sweet and spiced stewed apple. A bit of tea as well. Fizzy.
