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.

Hazy blonde. No head. Rather perfumey aroma. Flavour is apple-perfume with a hint of baguette. You can sense a hint of Duvellishness but that serves to call attention to the fact that this doesn’t measure up.

It has a beautiful sunny blond color, with a generous head and a persistent perlage. The aroma is lightly malty, Belgian. It has a medium sweet body, with malt and some spices (coriander), and the touch of a Belgian yeast; a dry malt line leads to the final, that is well bitter, bitterness being on the top edge for such beer. No thrills, ok, but it’s a very good and straightforward Belgian Ale. Purist.

Bottled 06/2007. Hazy yellow color, big white cloudy head, lace. Grainy, glueish mango aroma. Flavor is fruity and yeasty, a bit grainy and harsh alcoholic too. Hoppy aftertaste. A bit dull brew from Great Divide. This bottle was 1,5 yrs old, I suppose it is better when fresh - although ratings here are not raving this so much.
