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.

Clear copper with thin head, and nice lace. Woodsy hope aroma. Twangy bite to start, bitter orange, and a little, followed by woodsy, grassy bitter finish. Sweetness of the malt lingers a little. A lot going on with this beer, very interesting.

12 oz can from Bier Stein. Pours out a nice amber color with a solid beige top that fades quickly leaving almost no lacing. Very nice balance between citrus, floral and light pine hops and a sweet caramel malt finish. Very easy drinking especially for the abv.

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.
