Commercial Description:
Gordon is a dry-hopped hybrid strong ale somewhere between a Double IPA and and Imperial Amber Ale (IAA). Brewed in tribute to the late Gordon Knight, Gordon is brewed with massive amounts of American hops and features about 85 IBUs and 8.7% alcohol by volume. Once a winter seasonal, Gordon is now a year-round, limited-supply offering.

Tap at The Front Door Boise, Pours out a dark amber topped with a off white head. WOW what a great floral hop aroma. A very nice floral hop tast. I also picked up some sort of mellon on this brew as well. Very tasty.

Can. Pours a hazy dark orange body with a frothy white head. Delicious aroma consisting of tonnes of sweet grapefruit and orange resin, along with fresh pine needles and toast malts. Medium body, doesn’t really seem to overwhelm the senses to the point at which the aroma led me to believe. Reasonably sweet with significant orange and citrus resiny type flavours. Finishes very long and piney in a tongue scraping fashion. Alcohol provides some kick to the body. Really good!

Pours a clear amber with a nice off-white head. Nice full-flavoured of hops and a malty backbone. Some caramel. Mostly piney anf prape fuiry hops aromas. Gave me nice hoppy-citric flavored burbs. Full bodied. Medium to high carbonation. Long, quite bitter finish with a tiny touch of alcohol. I like the strong hoppines that is backed up by body and malts. I wonder why this is an American Strong Ale and not an IIPA.

Canned. Pours out in a hazy amber colour with a rich white head. Sweet and sappy aroma of plenty of piney, floral and citric C-hops. Initially sweet flavour of nectarines, caramel, flowers and oranges. Finishes drier but not overly so of grapefruit, flowers and nectarines.

Can. Pours a slightly hazy amber with a one finger lasting off-white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of floral, pine, and citrus hops with a sweet malt and light caramel background. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium slightly resiny mouthfeel with a strong but well balanced bitterness. Very good.

0.355 l can. Dark amber color. Sweetish honey and flowery-lemony hops in the aroma. Bittersweet, honeyish and hoppy flavor featuring flowers, lemon and black currant. A bit sticky palate. Very tasty.
