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.

Warm, spicy aroma. Pale golden color with a decent white head. Thinnish body with almost creamy carbonation. Very smooth. There is a complex spicy flavor, with a bit of earthiness. More sweet than dry. The finish is spicy, lightly sweet, and hop bitter. Crisp, yes. Clean, ? It’s very, very delicious.

Bottled. A light golden beer with a medium bubbly beige head. The aroma is very spicy and yeasty - very Belgian, also with a touch of fruit primarily peaches. The flavor is powerful and complex with notes of fruit, spices, alcohol, yeast, and more. The dominant spice is coriander. The alcohol is very strong and felt on the palate and warms the mouth.

Bomber, poured into a tulip a clear yellow gold with white bubbles, some effervesence, poured into a trappist (Gouden Carolous) it looks the same with a touch of haze, faint malt, malt sweetness, yeast, pear and apple fruit with some floral fragrances, some malt, fruit and sweet flavors, faint spice and pepper, with some citrus bitterness on the tongue that gives a medium dry finish, bubbly and light on the palate, alcohol is hidden pretty well in this brew.

Bomber. Pale yellow, semi-hazy with a soapy white head. Nose of bananas, spice, and lemons. Slightly spicy, citrus flavors with a little Wonder Bread thrown in. A touch of alcoholic burn, but really a very clean drinking beer. Not much flavor, not much scent, but easy to drink and very refreshing. This would be a good summer beer, though maybe not worth the price.

Tap @ GD. Poured a clear bright yellow color with a white head. The aroma was malty with a fair amount of Belgian yeast character. The flavor was yeasty with a sweet malt start but a very dry bitter finish. To dry for me. Medium bodied.
