Sep 25, 2008 Now let me say this rating is for the Gordon that was brewed before the recipe change circa 2006.The can had a sticker on it.Just drank my last can recently and man was it good!Mmmoth hops and silky malts make this my numero uno beer!The new version is in my top ten but not up to the standards of the original.We sell so much in Georgia I can see how the quantity vs availability hurt the quality ever so slightly.We forgive and thank you Oskar Blues!

Sep 24, 2008 12oz in bordeaux glass. Deep amber, low off white head. Huge resiny, floral aroma. Thick with lupulin. Says 8.7%, but it’s barely there. Color is just about the only indication there’s malt in here. An orgy of late-hopping in a can.

Sep 24, 2008 Scarily drinkable is the first thing I wrote down, haha. Poured a deep reddish brown with a thick head. I like the way this one is sort of like an IPA, but not quite. Lots of IPA in the nose; but, lots of malt/caramel on the palate.

Sep 18, 2008 Dark amber body with a nice bubbly head. Plenty of pine and citrus hops going in the aroma with a kick of crystal malts backing it up. There is a remarkable balance going on in the flavor making this by no means a hop bomb, which I love here. Citrus hops and caramel and crystal malts with some oranges going on in the flavor. Finishes smooth and somewhat dry. This is a fantastic beer.

Sep 15, 2008 Can. Pours a deep amber with a moderate head. Aroma of Cascade hops. The flavor is dominated by a bitter hoppiness, balanced only somewhat with sweet toffee malts. Much closer to a Double IPA than an Imperial Amber. A bit too astringently bitter on the palate for my liking. A good beer nevertheless, but somewhat underwhelming.
