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.

22 oz bottle. Not on a par with some other Great Divide offerings but still very drinkable. Not going into the rotation.

Bottle, 22oz. A hazy, yellow-golden beer with a white head. Pale malt, bananaish fruityness and a little spicy touch in the aroma. The flavor is much the same. Would like them both more pronounced, especially the aroma. Medium body. It’s way to high on the alcohol to make it an all-nighter, besides that, it has the easy-to-drink, quaffable qualities a session-beer needs. (080314)

Bottle. Pours a golden yellow with a fluffu quickly disappearing head. Aromas of peach and apricot. Slight bitter taste. Light and bubbly on the palate.

Bottled. Part of blind tasting. Pour is very clear, decent white head atop. Plenty of spice, crisp hops, and yeast. Very unique balance, highly enjoyable... doesn’t taste like it tooks. Could see this pairing well with many foods. Also a bit surprised by the low rating.

22 oz bottle. Golden color, nice aroma of bubble gum, clove, and spice. Flavor is much of the same. Pretty standard Belgian Ale, but very solid. Surprised by the relatively low score.

Dec. 2007 - Perhaps one of the most drinkable Belgians I’ve had. Pale golden color with minimal head and lacing. Weak aroma of belgian malty fruitiness. The flavor was subtle fruits and spicing, but not watery. Very crisp bananas, some citrus twang and also a distinct yeastiness. A good beer with food.

Bottle 650ml
Appearance: Clear golden ale with medium , bright white top 3+
Nose : Aromatic hop with sweet grainy malts. Softer yeasty bottom with wheat like ending accents 7+.
Flavor/Palate : Medium bodied, some wheat , high on carbonation. Semi strong on malting , mineral hop with yeasty connection. Ending of raw hops with basic pale malts. Reminds me of Belgia Fraters.
