No doubt : men prefer blonds, but Gordon Finest Silver will enchant everybody, men and women, young and old, real connoisseurs or occasional consumers.

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.

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.

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.
