Sep 29, 2008 Thick frothy head which disapates quickly. Dark amber in color. Aroma of rich pine forest and grapefruit - smells sweet and woody. Flavor is sweet and bitter grapefruit. Oily yet somewhat thin mouthfeel. This wasn’t as overpowering as I expected, but a delicious beer - especially for one poured from a can!

Sep 29, 2008 Although heavily hopped beers aren’t my favorite, I really enjoyed this one!
Amber with a substantial head.
Nice hop aroma and hop taste as well, with a not unpleasant bitter aftertaste.
Overall, a very nice brew.

Sep 27, 2008 Unbelievable, this was an amazing brew that is massively hopped from the get go. I had put off trying this one for years because of the can, what an idiot. this pours a dark yellow, and it is one of the most well balanced beer i have ever had with a great bouquet of hops on the front while it finishes with a strong bitterness at the end and best of all no residual aluminum anywhere in there

Sep 27, 2008 V - red with great lacing
A - malty with amber ale like caramel elements and hops
T - just like the nose, hops with the malty caramel
P - great balance

Sep 26, 2008 Tap from Monster B’s. True original. Nice amber color with a thick tan head. Flavors unfamiliar, had hop IPAness with sweet malts.

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.
