Commercial Description:
No doubt : men prefer blonds, but Gordon Finest Silver will enchant everybody, men and women, young and old, real connoisseurs or occasional consumers. Gordon Finest Silver is a strong beer (7.7 % alc.vol), yet light in taste, smooth and pleasant. Its refined flavour is the result of a subtle hop-blend. Gordon Finest Silver with its gold blond colour is available in 50 cl cans, as well as in 33 cl long-neck bottles.

50 cL can. Pours clear and golden orange with a lacing white head. Medium dense caramel aroma and slight alcohol presence. Caramel and biscuit malty base flavour with a mild spice note and an alcohol presence and warmth. Alcohol and bitterness make out the finish. Too alcohol dense for my liking.

Can, Golden blond coloured beer with some light carbonation and a small white head. Sweet roasted malty and alcoholic aroma. Full palate with some light sprankling. Finish is light bitter-sweet, alcoholic. Medium

Canned, 50 cl. (@ home yesterday) Clear golden, small white head. Aroma malts, and alcohol. Medium body. Taste = malty and a light alcohol presence, sweet to. This beer missing character. No good.

Nothing quite quenches ones thirst like a can of malt liquor from Belgium. It pours to style, a golden body with a small bubbly head that is soon reduced to a scummy film. It smells of grainy sweet malts and corn syrup. Not harsh like most American versions (if brewed "properly"), it’s somewhat oily and tastes of sweet malt, creamed corn, and alcohol. I miss the diesel fuel and bits of metal normally associated with such a drink, but it stays fairly true to style.

50cl can. Can labeled best before 12-2006. Poured a medium golden color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas and tastes of corn, grain, and a little fruity. Thin body. On the fruity, sweet side. A canned malt liquor from Belgium, does it get any better than that?
