A Taste of... Hades Ale /
Great Divide Brewing Co. Denver, CO (USA) Appearance: This is a very effervescent golden yellow brew with an airy lacy white small-beaded head. Aroma: Sweet almost bubblegum aroma with undercurrents of frankincense. Mouth feel: This is a medium bodied ale, and the carbonation adds a creamy feel. Flavor: This ale starts out very sweet with almost bubblegum flavor to it. Then the bubblegum slowly falls away to reveal an acidic hop undertone that loses after a counterattack by the bubblegum flavors. Finish: There is actually very little finish to this brew, although there is a slight viscosity. Comments: After reading the label on this beer and seeing what looked like a mountaintop named Hades, I was not quite too sure what to make of this product. With alcohol by volume at 7.3% I was expecting a little bit more malt flavor. The interesting nose and the bubblegum flavors are slightly confusing. It has a very slick finish, though. And I can imagine that this would be a comfortable high octane fuel for many an interesting hot summer night.
