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.

GTAEgeek (439) - Atlanta, Georgia, USA - MAY 15, 2011
Sample at the Rocket City Brewfest. Pours a pale yellow with a thin head. The aroma is citrus, apples and bread. The flavor is very crisp, with a strong and well balanced bitterness and sweetness. The palate is light to medium and sticky, with a lingering, mild aftertaste. Overall, a quality beer.

murphym45 (768) - New York, New York, USA - MAY 14, 2011
Clear good, bit of white head. Aroma is grain, lemon, Belgian yeast, spicy, almost a bit funky. Light bodied, dry and slightly tart, interesting, not bad.

headheldhigh (98) - Walnut, California, USA - MAY 4, 2011
12 oz bottle poured into my tulip glass. Golden amber with a high pillowy head. Aromas of Belgium yeast and the typical banana and spices. Tastes of subtle spices with a hint of roasted malt sweetness. A good solid offering but not in the same class as the Yeti.

brenn79 (859) - Idaho, USA - APR 23, 2011
12 oz. bottle- Pours pale golden with a thin head and lively carbonation bubbles, not bad. The aroma is grainy, generic beer, some belgian yeast and sugars. The flavor is more Belgian, good, creamy, mellow, decent. Body is medium, carbonation is high, finish is creamy. Overall besides the aroma its not bad.

Clear golden with a medium white head. Aroma of Belgian yeast, spice, banana. Somewhat mild. Taste is a little sweet and yeasty with noticeable spice. Medium body, refreshing for the style.

Redpointed (66) - Colorado, USA - APR 19, 2011
Aroma is more subtle than I expected. Appearance is pretty standard. Taste is quite good, fantastic crisp balance between the spices and hops. Not an incredible standout, but much better than most.

superspak (589) - Michigan, USA - APR 9, 2011
12 ounce bottle into tulip. Pours crystal clear golden amber color with a 2 finger dense white head with very good retention, that reduces to a thin lacing cap. Some very nice lacing on the glass as well. Aromas of banana, clove, spicy yeast, and bread. Aromas are a bit weak. Taste of banana, cloves, honey, spices, and some other fruitiness. Fairly dry finish, but there is some slight spicy and fruity sweetness that lingers for a brief period after the finish. No bitterness detected in this as well. Medium carbonation and body, has a good mouthfeel for a Belgian style. Overall, this is quite an enjoyable Belgian style from Great Divide.

Not surprising for Great Divide, this is a very nice Belgian Ale. lemony golden color, almost clear with a very bright white frothy head. sweet and well balanced, with a clean finish
