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.

A deep red beer with an orange head. The aroma is very hoppy combined with notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, and light notes of hops, and even wood in the end, which is dry.

Canned at The Rover, Göteborg. Clear orange-brown, small head. Striking lychee aroma. Sweet and rounded with medium body. Bready and lightly fruity, very hoppy. Lingering very bitter finish where some light saccharine disturbs a little. Best beer out of a can?

(Bottle 75 cl) Hazy, orangey golden with a handsome, tall and dense light brown head leaving laces. Fresh aroma of hops and caramel. Surprisingly only a medium body with lots of caramel and then a distinct, hoppy finish. 211006

Deep golden amber, rich head. Woody, piney nose. I can safely say that cold this beer has little nose but once it warms up the aroma just jumps out of the glass. Caramel and crystal malts lead, followed by mangoes, mandarins and grapefruits. Again, infinitely more expressive at cellar temperature. A bit mild for the style - I like that - very well balanced and drinkable like it’s little brother Dale’s. Imperial IPA in a can...nice one. Just don’t put it in the fridge.

Bottle thanks to Bager. Ruby colour with a huge beige head. Strong malty profile, plesant grass hop aroma and taste. Medium to full body with a light sweet round hop finish.
