Great Divide Hades

rbesg07, grand tasting, bottled. clear golden, modest head, plenty of alcohol in the aroma, as well as some buttered bread. plenty of metallic bitterness, lacking a bit in character

Not much aroma and very yellow in color with lots of head. Beside the aroma and color though, I loved this. A good light Belgian spice, reminiscent of saisons. Nice and sweet, smooth.

November 21, 2008 vintage. Clear golden pour into thick frothy white had that dissipates into sticky lacings on the side of the glass. Aroma of piney hops and malty sweetness. Initial flavor of bitter malty hoppiness which quickly fades into malty sweetness finish. Another drinkable ale by Great Divide.

Glassy, clear and rich light gold in color. Plenty of yeasty aromas and a bit of lemon. The palate is rich and silky. Low carbonation. Nearly tastes like a saison because it has a little woodsy malt.

Definitely a success from Great Divide. Lots of Belgian yeast in the aroma and flavor. Lightly sweet with some candy sugar, but mild on the palate and as the description says, it would pair well with virtually anything.

Pours bright golden with a mostly receding off-white head. Aroma of noble hops, herbs, cookie, white wine, banana and pears. Taste is cookie malt, lightly bitter herbal hops, with fruity notes of pear, white grape, banana and bubble gum. Medium to full bodied with lively carbonation. It seems as though this is their Duvel clone, and its pretty good.

The pour was crystal clear and golden with light effervescence and a short, fizzy white head. No lacing. The aroma was sweet sugar, light malt and a bit of yeast. The flavor was sugary and only the faintest trace of yeast came through. A bit of hops at the end provided decent balance. The mouthfeel was not bad. Just OK.

Clear yellow color with a thin head. Aroma of fresh grains and a bit of candi sugar. Slight apple taste, strong grain, light yeast. Pretty solid.
