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.

Aroma a little like ginger root and hops. Small off white head that simmered away with good carbonation. Some citrus notes with a malt mix. Good body and balance with some hop bitterness. Oskar makes some good cheap ass looking beer.

this beer is hoppy but not overwhelmingly so for an imperial. a little extra maltiness lends it a complimentary sweetness that allows it to be very drinkable. weighty sweet and refreshing. they say it was a winter seasonal but i find it to be delicious in the summer as well.

aroma of lite pine and lite malt. small off white head went away quick. Good carbonation, lite amber in color. flavor of lite pine, lite grapefruit, almost tastes like someone put a lemon wedge in the can. very bitter aftertaste. I’m one who likes a balance and this has it. I see a lot of other ratebeerians talking about the hops in this. I don’t like a lot of hops and this stuff is okay with me. I don’t think it’s overly hoppy at all. One thing I do notice is the ABV% It’s in the aroma and in the aftertaste but I don’t mind that.

Thick orange amber pour with a soapy white head. Smell is pure pine and oranges. Flavor is heavy on the oranges as well, in addition to some nice toffee and very sweet malt in there. Palate is thick and syrupy. Nice beer, drinkable.

ABV: 8.7 % Calories: estimated at 200 C Volume: 12 fl oz can Glass: concave pilsner Purchased at: Circle Liquors Price: $4.25 Consumed at: home Impression: Aroma is overwhelming and richly hoppy. Beautiful yellowy head is bulbous and frothy atop a deep amber, deep red, almost sunburst body. Very clear. Good lacing. Carbonation is visible, threaded, present. Pine scent is thick. Taste does not disappoint. Oily texture and muted dry finish are wonderful. The flavors include the piney, citrusy hops. A syrupy depth, a bit cloying. Well balanced between alcohol, sweetness, hoppiness, and maltiness. More toasted than roasted. What an amazing beer. Aroma: 10 out of 10 Visuals: 5 out of 5 Taste: 10 out of 10 Palate: 4 out of 5 Overall: 19 out of 20

Can. Pours a red-brownish colour with a big nice steady off-white creamy head. Bit sweet and very hoppy and citrus aroma. Great mouthfeel. The flavour has a mild sweetness with lots of hops, pine, citrus and a very pleasant bitterness. Dry bitter and hoppy long lasting finish.
