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.

tarjei (1949) - Bryne, NORWAY - AUG 10, 2008
0,66 l bottle - shared with Asgeir and Sølve. Clear golden color, fine white head. Aroma has fine floral hops and fruit. Flavor is a fine mixture of belgian style ale and american hops. The hops are in front, then there is yeast, malt and spices. Sweet and dry finish.

AlaskaBrew (4) - Fairbanks, Alaska, USA - OCT 14, 2007 does not count
Very, very, VERY light color -- lighter than straw. Fizzy belgian carbonation, though not particularly dense. Flavor is full, but light -- very fruity, very belgan. Lots of estery flavors; bubblegum and banana, but well balanced. Quite drinkable, if this were a style I enjoyed. I could see this going down well with seafood or light cheese.

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

VitaminR (540) - Colorado, USA - JUN 6, 2008
Honey, cinnamon, and lemony nose. Yellow-gold with a pearly haze, Medium head, decent lacing. Mild sweetness, surprising amount of bitterness, maybe a little too bitter? Tight effervescence, has a bright quality to it, finish is mellow with a satisfying alcohol burn. Interesting beer, much hoppier than expected, but after getting past that it is a pretty good beer.

Wow, people are all over about this. I really liked it. Great Belgian barnyard aroma, nice bread flavor in a surprisingly y drinkable presentation and a dryish finish.

Pours a nice golden colore without a lot ogoes awayf head. What head there is quickly goes away. However, the flavor is stronger than the color would suggest. The spiceness of the hops and even the yeast last on the palet nicely. A very nice beer to enjoy.

Bottle. Pours a clear gold with white head, very fizzy look and mouthfeel. Just kinda meh overall. Seems a little spiced, but a bit "forced", so to speak. Nice and crisp, easy to drink given the alcohol content.

RasterMaster (243) - , Oklahoma, USA - DEC 28, 2008
November 21, 2008 vintage. Clear golden pour into thick frothy white had that dissipates into sticky lacings on the side of the glass. Aroma of piney hops and malty sweetness. Initial flavor of bitter malty hoppiness which quickly fades into malty sweetness finish. Another drinkable ale by Great Divide.
