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.

In the bomber bottle from Total Beverage. Pours dark gold with a large thick and creamy white head. Fruity aroma. Flavor is like Juicy Fruit Gum with a candy lemon drop (but not citrus). A fairly boring beer otherwise.

12oz bottle from Kingdom Liquors (Tampa, FL). Pours a clear bright yellow color with a small foamy white head that settles quickly. Some lacing of the glass. Aroma is wet sweet malt, honey, some hints of flowers, spice and yeast. Flavor is somewhat disappointing. Mostly notes of wet hay, sur malt, and some faint nuts, caramel and honey overtones as well. Generally light to medium body with a quick, slightly bitter finish. Disappointing for a belgian style.

Bottle. Pours a crystal clear golden with a small white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma is alcoholic with spicy yeast and citrus. Tastes is much the same. Medium thin mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness and warm slightly hot alcohol. Nothing special.

Bottle. Pours an average yellow with a decent head and a lively body. Aroma is very pungent alcohol, with notes of Isopryl coming through like a Mack truck on a menthol high. Also has notes of yeast, sweet grapefruit, and a touch of dough. Flavor is off-floral, with bits of grassy hops and lawn clippings. Bitter finish that leaves a thin film. Not bad, but Great Divide has made much better.

Pours light golden, thick white head. Aroma is yeasty with citrus nose. Taste is yeasty, fruty (apricot), malty, some sweet caramel. Light hop bitterness with spices in the finish. An average ale, alcohol is well present.

The aroma is yeasty with malt, light fruit, and grass. The appearance is pale gold with an average head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is thin with a soapy finish. Overall it’s not that special.
