Commercial Description:
Gordon is a dry-hopped hybrid strong ale somewhere between a Double IPA and and Imperial Amber Ale (IAA).

Once a winter seasonal, Gordon is now a year-round, limited-supply offering.

Pours a clear amber with thick tan head. Very nice lacing.Aroma of caramel malts and hops, some tang as well. Taste similar with hops, very boozy.

Imperial IPA complexe. Le houblon n’est pas tranchant, ni trop présent, mais fait sa place. De couleur brune asser foncée, la Gordon développe des saveurs de caramel et de cassonade, mélangé aux notes de houblon et d’alcool. Très bonne.

Can. What a great beer. From a can! Really impressed with this one. I now have my beer of choice in a can for those events this summer not allowing any bottles. Pours a nice reddish color with all the characteristics of a good IPA. Well done.

Yeah know... I think I must have bought a bad can??? Smells like a DIPA with a huge amount of skunk!?! and flovor was acidic with DIPA after flavor. I have liked the other brews from Oskar Blues Grill and Brew so... I’ll wait and try another one at a later date. and re-rate it.

On tap at Raleigh WBF. Pours a deep copper with a nice tan head. Great lacing. Aroma of caramel malt, citrus hops, pineapple, and watermelon. Taste is pineapple and passion fruit with a spicy alcohol bite. Dry finish. Yum.

Copper borwn with off white head and nice lacing. Aroma of caramel, malts and some dark fruits. Flavor was caramel, dark fruits, light hop bitterness and a pleasant alcohol finish. Nice syrupy mouthfeel.

Impressive three-finger, thick head. Leaves a chunky ring lace after each sip. The color is dark copper and is crystal clear. Beautiful floral hop aroma...very inviting. Light malt in the background, but this is as it should be: A hoppy ale. Creamy texture, with a lightish level of carbonation. Great balance for a DIPA. Solid malt body that quickly succumbs to the hop bomb. Not as bitter as some which makes this a very easy to drink beer. The alcohol is muted, which means this is a deceptively powerful beer.

Pours a deep, off-white head that laces and a clover honey color body. Smells of hops and barley. Makes me think of a barley wine. Tastes of barley, hops, caramel, tea, and lemon. Finish is bitter and dry, almost tannic, like black tea. Hopped well.
