Bottle: Poured a deep amber color ale with a large foamy head with limited retention and not much lacing. Aroma of strong tart notes with some oak and funky ester with some acidic notes showing. Taste is also dominated by strong tart notes with some acidic notes and funky Brett ester. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Enjoyable but too acidic to be truly enjoyable in large quantities.

Pours clear blonde. Medium small white head. Scent is intense peach, sugary, candy. taste is sharp, banana, metallic, awfull chemical grainy, vodka like, candy, peach, sugar. Alcoholic (not 11 abv) . Far from great, obviously, but not as terrible as other gordons. Which doesn't necessarily prove anything ( nothing to prove, right ? ) as gordons has made some of the worst beers I ever had.

0.33 l bottle from 'Speciaalbierpakket.nl', best before September 2021. Clear, dark ruby with a large, foamy, stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, gently fruity aroma of plums, cherry and some caramel. Gently sweet, malty, slightly fruity taste of plums, cherry, caramel and burnt sugar, followed by a short, moderately bitter, minimally metallic finish. Medium body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Pleasant Ale, nicely fruity, only that it can't disguise it's industrial heritage.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.
