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.

Pale golden straw color with a champagne like bubbly white head that thins quickly. Spicy musty aroma, pale malts and grassiness. Taste is dry herbal hops, hay, grass, a nice Belgian pale.

Bottle: pours a golden color with small head. Most notable in the aroma is Belgian yeast. Taste consists of a combination of sweet and dry. This is ridiculously drinkable and a good representation of the style.

Bottle. Golden beer with a whitish head. Sweet, biscuity, spicy aroma. Spicy, malty (slightly bready), yeasty flavor. Spice lingers with a faint sweetness and mineral tones. Medium body. Nice. Good spice characteristics.

Bottled in July ’07: Pours a sparkling golden with a thin, wispy-lacing white head. Aroma of lightlt sweet, toasty pale biscuity malt with some floral noble hop notes and an authentic Belgian yeastiness. Body starts fairly full and toffee sweet with an earthy grassy bittering hop presence and some doughy yeasty notes before a drier, biscuity finish. A pretty nice and quite drinkable Belgian ale.

Clear, very pale golden pour, with a fizzy, short-lived head - light belgian yeastiness in the aroma, with some banana, floral notes, and a hint of spice - light flavor, tingly in the mouth - light honey sweetness, quite a strong floral character, some herbal notes, and a touch of lemon - a medium hop bite combines well with a moderate spicy character near the end - quite a nice, mellow belgian ale, which is a surprise coming from a brewery that seems to specialize in big beers.

A golden devil’s ale with a very thin white head. Pleasant bubble gum aroma, with orange peels and fusel alcohol. In mouth, a nice oily ale with warm banana bread, orange peels, very nice. On tap at brewery, 24 Jan. 2009.

Bottle. Body-very light yellow lager/pilsner looking with a foamy pearly white thick head. Nose-Belgian, light clove, medium phenols, light white spice. Taste-sawdust, unsweet berry, sharp, very light soap, white pepper, white grapes, medium to high CO2, alcohol bun, light orange pith, very distinctive Belgian yeast flavors, straw, clay/earth, medicinal on the backend, soft. Not bad. A good example of a “light” Belgian beer. A good choice of Belgian ingredients.
