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.

Bottle, 22oz. A hazy, yellow-golden beer with a white head. Pale malt, bananaish fruityness and a little spicy touch in the aroma. The flavor is much the same. Would like them both more pronounced, especially the aroma. Medium body. It’s way to high on the alcohol to make it an all-nighter, besides that, it has the easy-to-drink, quaffable qualities a session-beer needs. (080314)

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.

Bottle. Weak light caramel, bonbon aroma. Clear, shiny, very pale yellow colour. Small white head. The flavour is a lot like a tripel, slightly sweet with a little spices. Semi-rough bitterness. Well-balanced. Nothing out of the ordinary, but well-crafted.

75 cL bottle, thanks to BelJohansen. Pours clear yellow and with a lacing white head. Fresh hoppy aroma, slight grassy. Flavour is fresh hoppy, light sweet and with a mild spice note. Lingers into the finish with a little alcohol warmth. Quite fresh hoppy brew, but close to a German pilsner. Best US imitation of a German pilsner, but so close that I wonder why I should drink this compared to the German originals. I only vaguely sense the Belgian yeast.

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.

Bottle. Fairly perfumed nose. Hazy pale yellow. Light body, perfumed belgian bubblegum yeast notes, really pushed over the brink by the aromatic hops. Medium to light body, sparkly mouthfeel. A beer your grandmother might dab behind her ears.
