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 pour with a medium, foamy white head with good lacing. Aromas of lemon and grass (but not lemongrass). Also characteristically yeasty. Fruity and crisp on the tongue.

12 ounce bottle in pint tulip. Very pale almost champagne color with ring head (not sure why I didn’t get the head others got). Yeasty sugary aroma with mild white wine and hop spice. Sugary white wine fruitiness with mild finishing spicy dry bitterness. Decent mouthfeel with nice fine internal carbo. Pretty decent for hit or miss style. Drinkable, but not exactly Duvel.

Bottle. Poured pale gold with a lasting white head. Full fruity aroma with a bit of citrus. Medium flavour with a crisp edge. And after all this, a bit of metal in the hoppy finish brought it down.

Clear gold with a thick, fluffy white head. Soft Belgian yeast nose, fruity and saison-like. Flavor is much the same wit ha light citrus tang. Sweet and subtle. Nice.

Appearance is golden with a white head. Aroma is yeast with slight banana and clove. Taste is mainly yeast like the aroma. Overall, not bad but not anything great.

Pale color. Smells mostly of wheat and yeast. Tastes the same. Has a bitter ending. Not my type of beer.

12 oz. bottle share, about 6oz. to a hi-ball glass. Light gold/straw color with some white foam to the head and modest ring of lacing. The aroma was distinct Belgian yeast, some spice, a little sweetness, and a hint of banana. The flavor was a clean presentation of these in addition to an appropriate, even hop bitterness.
