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.

Pale golden straw color with a champagne like bubbly white head that thins quickly. Spicy musty aroma, pale malts and grassiness. Taste is dry herbal hops, hay, grass, a nice Belgian pale.

Bottle... Poured clear orange with a white head. Aroma seemed a little off, like sulfur water and hard candy. Smooth palate with some zesty citrus notes, cloves and mild bitter hops. A little alcohol was noticeable in the finish. I thought this was under par for a Belgian Ale.

Clear golden color and pours a thick white head but that fades to a thin layer. The aroma is yeasty, quite malty, with faint traces of spice and fruits. The flavor here is alright but I admit it’s a little strange. Malty, some hops too but I’ll say it’s more malty tasting, sweet, and a blend of yeast, banana, and spice. The beer finishes very sour. Again, it’s alright but something seems off with this beer. After hearing someone talk very positively about this I am a little disappointed.

Pale blond, moderate haze, sparse white head. Lemon aroma initially, then comes wood and dust in gentle doses. Intense initial punch of dry alder wood, bitter lemon peel and raw hop pellets. finishes sweet with the lemon and the raw hops lingering both on different sides of my mouth. Probably better with food.

Bottle. Deceivingly blonde beer, but the fruity aroma gives it away. Very nice Belgian blonde pastiche beer, I’d be happy to swap my Duvel for this.

On tap at the brewery. Nice banana aroma. Yellow color. Easy to drink. Probably better because it’s very fresh.

Bottle. Unappetizing yellow body with a thin ring of white head. Smells like corn on the nose, sweet with a little grainy malt, slight yeast aromas. Slightly sweet with some yeasty notes in the flavor a slight bitterness comes through at the end. Finishes a semi-dry, thin but with decently soft carbonation. Blah.
