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.

Not much aroma and very yellow in color with lots of head. Beside the aroma and color though, I loved this. A good light Belgian spice, reminiscent of saisons. Nice and sweet, smooth.

22 oz. brown bomber bottle. No freshness date seen. Pours out a light straw color, with a fizzy white head. Aromas are of sulfur, Belgian funk, musty basements, malts & earthy hops. Musty tasting, some Belgian funk in the flavors, along with yeasty biscuits. Earthy hops round out the flavors. Decent mouthfeel, medium body. Great summer time beer overall.

Pours bright golden with a mostly receding off-white head. Aroma of noble hops, herbs, cookie, white wine, banana and pears. Taste is cookie malt, lightly bitter herbal hops, with fruity notes of pear, white grape, banana and bubble gum. Medium to full bodied with lively carbonation. It seems as though this is their Duvel clone, and its pretty good.

This was described as a Belgian golden ale to me by the bartender in the tap room at Great Divide.The color was clear yellow and the brew had a very small head that fades away pretty quick. I thought the carbonation lent to a nice mouthfeel. The smell was slightly yeasty, and banana-like. The taste was spicy and like bubblegum. I kept trying to think of which gum it reminded me of. This was a pretty good ale. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 06-11-2007 21:27:35

Golden with good, creamy white head / Light, floral nose of grain and honey / Medium body, malty and sweet, with some hop balance on the good, slightly bitter finish / Flavors of violets, honey, banana and orange peel / A touch cloying - a little more hops might help, but a very good beer nonetheless.

Bottle. Bright golden and clear. Little head. The aroma is vaguely banana-laced. Drinks with a exceptionally smooth mouthfeel. Very drinkable, easy-going Belgian-style. (#3628, 8/2/2009)

Bottle. Deceivingly blonde beer, but the fruity aroma gives it away. Very nice Belgian blonde pastiche beer, I’d be happy to swap my Duvel for this.
