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.

Clear gold with a thick, fluffy white head. Soft Belgian yeast nose, fruity and saison-like. Flavor is much the same wit ha light citrus tang. Sweet and subtle. Nice.

Appearance is golden with a white head. Aroma is yeast with slight banana and clove. Taste is mainly yeast like the aroma. Overall, not bad but not anything great.

12 oz. bottle share, about 6oz. to a hi-ball glass. Light gold/straw color with some white foam to the head and modest ring of lacing. The aroma was distinct Belgian yeast, some spice, a little sweetness, and a hint of banana. The flavor was a clean presentation of these in addition to an appropriate, even hop bitterness.

Pours a bright golden color with about a half inch of white head. Nose is Belgian yeast, spices, and some kind of sweet fruit. It could be peaches or bananas, but I can’t really pick it out exactly. Taste is yeast, grass, and pine. The beer is quite crisp also. This would be a good hot weather beer.

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.

Tap, Great Divide Taproom in Denver. Shiny gold, smallish white head. Briny salt and poolwater aroma, heather honey. Dill and mint, herbal hop finish. Light body, and rather sneaky at 7.3%. Pleasant glass.
