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.

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

The aroma was fruity with a light spice and a bit of very light caramel. The beer poured crystal clear pale golden with a white moderate head which lasted like a champ to lace the glass. The flavor was lightly sweet with a light caramel malt character and nice spice which was understated. The bittering was low and the malt character was low as well. The finish was dry with no outstanding characteristics. The body was medium with a moderate carbonation and a creamy texture on the palate. Alcohol was restrained throughout. Pepper was about the only thing going for this beer. It was nice and easy to drink, but just really did not exhibit the characteristics of a Belgian Ale that rings in at 7% ABV. 22 ounce bottle.

Hops, yeast and citrus aroma with a light malty character. Golden yellow with a white foamy head. Malty light citrus, hay-like qualities with good balance of bitter and sweet. Even carbonation with a creamy mouth feel and dryish finish. Pretty good overall.

22 oz bomber. Crystal clear appearance with a very pale straw colour. White head that is slightly sticky and leaves decent lacing. Light spicy aroma, with soft clove and a light yeasty character over a pale Belgian maltiness. A hint of bubble gum and lemony character. Slightly minty with a cooling anaesthetic hoppiness. They are clearly going for the Duvel vote and while this brew isn’t nearly as elegant it gets more things right than it gets wrong. Light peach/apricot fruitiness with a soft spicy perfume and a hint of soft vanilla in the back. Lovely brew and significantly better than the ratings up to now would seem to indicate.
