Commercial Description:
In 1992, Gordon launches Finest Gold, a strong and refined beer with a typically scottish character, combining the forces of charm and persuasion. Its origins and its strength (10% degrees of alcohol) give it its smooth taste and explosive nature. The taste of this incomparable beer is nevertheless entirely suited to the new demand of its many enthusiasts. Gordon Finest Gold is today available in 33 cl and 50 cl cans.

To be a 10% beer, this was very mild. Too mild, I think. It’s not that it was bad. It was well balanced and with half the % it would have been good. With 10% I expect more. Much more.

From Skjold Burne, Aarhus, DK. Bottled, 230908. Golden with small head. Aroma of some fruit and malt. Flavor the same - much too alcoholic.

I always have this one draught from keg, so maybe the experience differs a bit. Pours a dark bronze-orange liquid, with a big and dense fluffy head that collapses quickly. Flavour is malty and sugary, with a dry and bitter finnish that does little to hide the alcohol.

33 cl can, bougth at nigth shop in Oostende. Clear golden color, disappering white head. Aroma is fruity and sweet. Flavor is fruity, sweet, dry wooden finish - not very pleasant. Nothing special, just a lot of alcohol.
