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.

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.

Draft sample at brewery Tap Room, Denver, CO, 8/12/08. Pours clear, urine yellow. Nose is alcohol, slight wheat, mild funk. Taste is bread and apple, dry and mildly fruity, maybe slight alcohol flavor and heat. Relatively tasty.

Hazy straw yellow, estery floral/perfume aroma. I’m not sure if there is wheat in this, but this has a wheaty character to it, along with flowery yeast. Unfortunately there is a rather harsh hot alcohol note in the finish that detracts from the overall palate (which is average at best really).
