Oct 26, 2007 Very bright yellow with a pale, white head that fades very quickly. Skunky aroma with a gentle, herbal spiciness. The flavor is very similar to a lager, cold-conditioned, and its not very Belgian-like for me.

Sep 10, 2007 Bottled. RBESG.
Golden colour. Hoppy aroma with notes of pineapple. Flavour is triple sweetness, ie almond paste, along with bit of choriander and fruity esters. Alcohol is here as it should. Full malty and very American.

Aug 28, 2007 Bottle thanks to Jens, rbesg07. Aroma is very floural and yeasty. Taste is similar though buttery and biscuity, disapointing.

Sep 7, 2007 Draft at the brewery tap room in Denver. Poured a clear, very pale light golden color. Head was two fingers high, fluffy, and white. The aroma was subdued overall consisting of light banana and some clove. There was also a hint of something strange that I can only describe as air-freshener-esque. Dry and bubbly on the tongue with cereal grain and clove accented by a citrus note.

Oct 26, 2008 Bottle... Poured clear orange with a white head. Aroma seemed a little off, like sulfur water and hard candy. Smooth palate with some zesty citrus notes, cloves and mild bitter hops. A little alcohol was noticeable in the finish. I thought this was under par for a Belgian Ale.

Jul 18, 2008 Funny. All the beers I drink that use Hell, Demons and the Netherworld as a thematic motif tend to be brutally dark beers. Hades Ale? Not so much. It’s colored like white grape juice, with a diminutive head that’s quick to retreat. Same with the aroma - white grape juice, apple juice, soapy cleanliness, wheat, and a little grapefruit. From here the flavor gets a little more intensely bitter and a little more sweet, with an additional touch of kettle corn, caramel, a squeeze of mango, and a good, healthy dose of alcohol. The flavors are on the weaker side, but still a nice medley - like a low grade Duvel.

Aug 21, 2007 22oz bottled the first week of June, 2007, per the notches. Clear pale golden--not quite to the point of straw though--and a minimal white head. A small fizzy head does rouse, though not for long. Belgian yeast, light pepper, hints of orange and fainter orange rinds, and light bready malts. There is also a light soapy smell. Where the aroma only hinted at some bitterness, it shows up front in the flavor somewhat strong, if only for a moment, and then turns to some herbal notes and spicy pepper and alcohol. Some Belgian yeast and citrus is still evident. Dry finish. Low carbonation with a thin medium body. Of their two new beers (I’m not sure if they’ve released any more), I’m unimpressed so far. It is nice to see them taking a stab at a different style, though.
