Commercial Description:
Hades is brewed with a rare Belgian yeast strain that gives a complex spicy flavor and aroma. Noticeable hops and medium malt character make it an extremely well-balanced, crisp ale. Hades goes great with a bowl of fresh mussels, crusty bread, and virtually any artesian cheese.

pours a very very slightly hazy orange color with a thin line of filmy white head. Aroma is very citric, ots of oranges and sugared grapefruit. Flavor is light on the palate, sweet, orangy with caramel. Very sweet. Overall, decent, but not fabulous.

I saw on the bottle that it was in Beer Advocates top 25 or something for 2007. Wow, this should be awesome. Oh, wait....I realized as it poured...it wasn’t starting out that way. It pours with a loose large head, quickly dissipating, with large-form carbonation that reminds me of pop. The aroma has some decent notes, with a titch of melon and orange. The flavor was weak, with a light sweetness and a thin Belgian quality but somewhat reminiscent of a Blue Moon (hefe). Drinkable, but without any notable great qualities to balance the signs of weakness. Bottle.

12 oz. bottle via trade with smith4498 - Pours a hazy light golden color with a one finger thick white head. Very light lacing. Aroma is grain, esters, light yeast, and light spice. Flavor is lightly sweetened malt, esters, and light herbal hops. Medium body. A nice beer. Thanks Jason.

Pours a light golden color with a quickly disappearing white head. Not a very strong aroma, but what you can smell is pretty good consisting of coriander and other belgian spices. Light bodied. Flavor is pretty descent, but not what I have come to expect from Great Divide. This is definitely one of the worst beers that I have tried from Great Divide, which is saying a lot about a brewery when one of their worst beers is still a 3.2.

Bottle. Pours golden with a thin white head. Typical aroma and flavor of a Belgian ale: malty, yeasty, cloves, banana. This has a bit more hoppiness, I would say. Nicely balanced, well integrated, and very drinkable. A well made beer and a good introduction to the style.

Sample @ GLBN Belgian Tasting. Blind tasting @ Sterling Tavern, Buffalo. Grassy, herbal, saaz like aroma & taste. sort of an amped up Duvel green.
