Gordon is a dry-hopped hybrid strong ale somewhere between a Double IPA and and Imperial Amber Ale (IAA).

IPA tasting Three Cellars, Milwaukee. I guess I just don’t get Oskar Blues beers. I didn’t like this much. I can’t even pin down the flavors. When I took the first drink I immediately said “yuck”.

Dark amber with thin off-white head. Strong floral hop aroma. Taste is sweet and sticky with strong burst of hops, mostly floral. First beer I’ve had poured from a can in a long, long time and it didn’t taste like it came from one.

nice deep amber pour with a 1 finger cream head. nice hop scent with a small amount of malts being noticeable. wow, that’s a lot of hops. good thickness and the hops taste like they were put in yesterday.

Most expensive can of beer I’ve ever drank... but worth it. Extremely hoppy and sticky sweet. Pours, though, with a full creamy head (large bubbles), nice dark color for a strong ale, and comes across more as a malty IPA. A sharp spice does hit the nose, but isn’t quite as present on the palate. Good beer, but not smooth enough for two in a sitting. (Can Pour [how do you rate it below] 4/20/2008)

On tap at Pub. Nice amber color with white head. Strong hops aroma. First taste malt then hops take over with long finish.

dark amber with a nice slow forming tight white head. ok lacing. solid balanced pine caramel aroma. bittersweet balanced piney caramel. bitter pine caramel finish. full body. moderate to lively carbonation. good solid straight forward IIPA.

12 oz. Can. Pours a coppery red with a decent sized head and persistent lacing. Aroma is surprisingly strong with lots of pine. The mouthfeel of this beer is pretty solid with an impressive amount of what I guess is 2 row to hold up to the strong hop dosage. The beer also has an undeniably resinous and sticky palate as well. Flavor has some recognizable citrus notes with tastes of orange and grapefruit. Also shows some sweetness from the malt and a subtle bread flavor. The finish is long and somewhat bitter with a touch of alcohol. Personally I think this beer is a bit closer to being an Imperial Red than a 2IPA, but either way, its pretty good.

Big beer. nice long lasting head. Huge flavor. The can puts off some people.
