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.

Very bright yellow with a pale, white head that fades very quickly. Skunky aroma with a gentle, herbal spiciness. The flavor is very similar to a lager, cold-conditioned, and its not very Belgian-like for me.

Clear, very pale golden pour, with a fizzy, short-lived head - light belgian yeastiness in the aroma, with some banana, floral notes, and a hint of spice - light flavor, tingly in the mouth - light honey sweetness, quite a strong floral character, some herbal notes, and a touch of lemon - a medium hop bite combines well with a moderate spicy character near the end - quite a nice, mellow belgian ale, which is a surprise coming from a brewery that seems to specialize in big beers.

Pours a clear gold color, with a small white head. Smells of crisp grain, light hops, and mild citrus fruit. Plain and simple. The flavor was slightly musty, some decent sweet malts, mild hops, and grainy bitterness. Kind of had a weird flavor to it. The mouthfeel seemed al ittle off to me. Wasnt too big on this brew. This and the samurai have been disappointments to me, especially coming from these guys.

Bottle. Golden straw color with an oily thin head. Spiced, sweet belgian nose with some definite yeast and light hops. Some fruit in there also - apples, pear. Shallow flavor and a really short finish. Drinkable, but not that great.

Bottle sampled. Pours a golden color with a small white head. Aroma of citrus, yeast, malts, and grassy hops. Flavor is pale malts, grains, light fruit, and some spices with a mild finish
