Great Divide Hades

Bomber. Gold pour, disappointingly clear, with a minimal head. Bready and floral aroma with banana and pear. Generally sweet bubblegum flavor cut with some moderate spiciness. Medium bodied with not a whole lot of carbonation. Some hop bitterness at the very back of the finish. Some citrus zestiness appears now and then. Clearly not the best Belgian styled ale around but drinkable nonetheless. Probably better if it were washing down moules as the label suggests.

Bottle. Golden, white head. Yeasty, sweet aroma with a little citrus. Sweet flavour with traces of yeast and a nice freshness. Slighly bitter and with a little alcohol going out. Passable, but it didn’t do much for me.

Pours a very pale, slightly hazy yellow body. Small, fizzy white head that settles quickly to a patchy film with a solid, bubbly edge. Aroma is lightly floral and spicy, with fresh wildflowers, dandelions, lemon chiffon, and coriander. The flavor follows along those same lines. Flowers of seemingly every variety are present. The coriander adds a nice spiciness, but its not overpowering as some Belgians tend to be. Cream and sweetened lemon add much welcomed smoothness. Medium bodied, light, crisp and refreshing. Not fantastic, but I enjoyed this one.

Pours out light golden color with fluffy white head. Fruity wheat aroma. Wheat taste with hints of fruit and yeast. Goes down very smooth with a dry crisp aftertaste.

22 oz bomber purchased in KC, MO. Pours almost clear yellow like a macro lager. Heavy carbonation from the bottom. Small head that seems to sustain. Nose is minimal, but I’m dealing with a head cold...aarrgg. Initial flavoring is mild with a yeasty and mild hop flavor. The alcohol is well hidden and this beer is very smooth-not an "in your face" typical GD beer. I was expecting more of an over-the-top style Belgium style beer. This is a decent "single"-nothing more-nothing less. I will re-rate after I get rid of this cold and wish for better. This is not a Mars Volta beer....

Bottle. Medium head with good duration. Color is clear yellow. Aroma is fruits, yeast, malt and hops. Taste is fruity, yeasty and malty. Pleasant sweetness.

Golden color. Spice in nose and very phenolic. The malt flavor is pretty mellow and the spicyness dominates.

Bottled. Clear pale golden with a fluffy white foam. Clean and sweet aroma of corn, pale malts, bread, mild lemon and alcohol. Sweet flavour of banana, yeast, canned corn, canned oranges and alcohol. Hot finish of banana and boiled vegetables.
