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.

It has a beautiful sunny blond color, with a generous head and a persistent perlage. The aroma is lightly malty, Belgian. It has a medium sweet body, with malt and some spices (coriander), and the touch of a Belgian yeast; a dry malt line leads to the final, that is well bitter, bitterness being on the top edge for such beer. No thrills, ok, but it’s a very good and straightforward Belgian Ale. Purist.

(Bottle, thanks ekstedt) Pours yellow to light golden. The aroma is of fruit and spicy yeast with tones of white pepper, light banana, apple, lemon peel and bubblegum. Undertones of toasty/bready malt and floral/herbal hops. The flavour is yeasty, fruity and spicy. Bit herbal and floral in the flavour as well. The mouthfeel is spicy, clean and a bit watery. Light to medium sweet, light bitter with a light acid touch. Medium bodied.

Pours a golden yellow with a white, mostly diminishing head and virtually no lacing. The aroma smells of a belgian, don’t smell any hops but I’ve been sitting on this for a few months. The initial flavor is bitter and has the taste of a belgian. The body is light, the texture watery and the carbonation soft. I haven’t been into Belgians for a while and this has the Belgian taste to me. I’m not crazy about it but some of my friends who are more into Belgians and wheats might appreciate it more.

Pours a thin clear light straw color with a few stray bits of white foam floating around. Mild Belgian yeastiness and sugar, vaguely citric aroma, almost funky. Taste is slightly sweet and real grainy, mild Belgian yeast tones. Tastes real thin, like mixed Duvel and water together.
