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.

Lemony, sweaty, musty wheat aroma. Absolutely clear, bright yellow, fair label. Metallic, hoppy, lemon jello sweetness and tanginess. It’s obviously going for crispness, but it kind of slides out of the saddle. Long astringent finish. Medium light body. Obviously an American Belgian - not in the good Ommegang/Allagash way, but in the bad wannabe, pandering micro brew sort of way. Fair to sub-standard.

Smells of bitter hops and pungent yeast. Taste is mild yeast with a nice almost cherry-like sweetness. Very tasty, unusual cherry flavor is very nice.

Pours a cloudy, golden color. The aroma is mild and disappointing, maybe a hint of sweet malt doughyness, along with a trace of spice, but it took a lot of work to reach that determination. This is a flavorful beer compared to the aroma, however its still fall short of most classic Belgian ales. Somewhat yeasty and sweet, with gentle carbonation, and spice, accented in the finish by a touch of hops in the finish. Overall a good quality beer.

Bottle from Party Town. Poured a clear pale color with a large frothy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate sour citrus, yeast and spice aroma. Medium body with lively carbonation. Medium biitersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Good drinkable brew.

Clear yellow pour with a small head. Spice on the nose (coriander). Light bodied. The flavor is about the same as the aroma. Mild spices in the flavor and a touch of sweetness.

Not much aroma and very yellow in color with lots of head. Beside the aroma and color though, I loved this. A good light Belgian spice, reminiscent of saisons. Nice and sweet, smooth.

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.
