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.

Golden pour with thin, brief white head. Aroma of toasted malt, lawn mower clippings, and playgound wood chips. Flavor is mostly yeasty with some bitter fruits, and doughy malt notes. Some dry, grassy hops. Maybe some pepper. Medium bodied, oily mouthfeel with medium carbonation. FInish is slightly spicey. Nothing to see here, folks. Keep on moving.

Bottle. Translucent gold with a short white head. Aroma is strong Belgian yeast, fruit notes, candy, and spicy/peppery notes. Taste is sweet malts, bread dough, peppery spice, Belgian yeast, dried fruit and candy fruit. Bit of grassy hops and honey as well. Body is light-medium and very bubbly, though more dense than spritzy. Ends with stronger spicy notes, flowers, grass, dried fruit, yeast notes, toasted malt and candy. Nice!

Bouteille de 12 oz achetée chez Knightly Spirits (Orlando, FL). Arôme: Odeur de citron avec une pointe de fleur et d’épices. Apparence: La couleur est blonde avec une très faible densité de bulle. Présence d’un mince col mousseux et d’une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût d’agrumes avec une pointe d’épices. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture légèrement huileuse. Faible effervescence en bouche. Légère présence d’agrumes en arrière goût. (Rating #2411)

Pours a pale straw yellow with a white fizzy head. Aroma is light yeast and spices. Taste is sweet up front with spice coming in at the end. Banana, some citrus, and yeast. Decent, but nothing special.

I always want to give them one more try, but I’ve never been a big fan of Belgian Golden ales. THe belgian yeast is front and center, sweet background, some coriander. For me, an above average golden, but that aint sayin much.

12 oz bottle. Crystal clear pale gold with a fizzy white head that disappears quickly. Looks pretty well carbonated. Nose is mildly grainy, lightly yeasty, touches of fruit. Flavor is spicy and dry, bready and just a tad alcoholic. Drinkable but weak attempt.
