Message DaSilky1 beers 2607 º places 66 º 03:17 Tue 3/6/2012 My thoughts revolve around the fact that we’ve gone through this already and its not worth talking about twice.
Message Trappistenbier beers 52 º places 4 º 04:03 Tue 3/6/2012 Hi DaSilky, You focuse too much on the gold flakes :) That Gordon Finest Gold 24 is in fact a strong lager at 10 vol% !! Possibly the strongest Belgian lager ever made !
Message ALLOVATE P beers 3846 º places 111 º 04:40 Tue 3/6/2012 My focus has always been on the beer, and to a lesser degree to credit the brewer involved. When I don’t see a brewer, nor do I see the beer as the main focus of its marketing, then it is just about marketing. Gold flakes in beer, WHY?

Message Trappistenbier beers 52 º places 4 º 07:45 Tue 3/6/2012 >> Gold flakes in beer, WHY? To give it that golden shiny twinkling look after pouring maybe ? Edible gold is the latest trend in haute cuisine. You can’t take it with you but you can eat it. Eating and d rinking gold has its roots in ancient Roman history and it has been reborn as the newest food and drink trend of the rich and famous. Innovative chefs are serving it up - adding it to champagne, caviar, chocolate and more. You can even find edible gold flakes on bagels and on sushi. The poor are protesting it, the rich are eating it, and the advertising companies are lapping it up. Cheers,

Message blklab2007 beers 2121 º places 17 º 07:49 Tue 3/6/2012 I keep a gold bar around at all times for cooking. I have a special peeler like a carrot peeler and I shave gold on almost everything I eat! I am cool!!!
Message IrishBoy P beers 4707 º places 141 º 07:55 Tue 3/6/2012 But is it a Top 50 beer that it is absolutely essential to get and rate or just another tick? I forgot, but I stopped pursuing Top 50 beers and just ticking a couple of years ago.

Important Actually Gordon Finest Platinum at 12vol% could well be the strongest lager in Belgium. Brewed in Belgium though
