May 10, 2008 bomber. pours a light golden color with a 1/2" white head... spicy and citrus aromas. There is a lot of spice on the palate with a touch of apricot. Very soft over the tongue and finishes strong with a slight bitterness and heavy spice presence. Overall very enjoyable and easily drinkable. Solid.

May 9, 2008 Bottle. I really like this golden ale. Pours golden color with a sweet malty peachy/pear aroma. Good spiciness is well detectable throughout this offering. One of my favorites from avery.

May 7, 2008 Updated: Jan 5, 2009[Bottle] Poured at a blind tasting at the Cellars. Poured a clear gold with moderate off whiteish head. Aroma is sorta musty, with some cloves and spice. Flavor is pretty malty and sweet with a gradually growing bitterness. Nice rich, full mouthfeel.

May 4, 2008 The beer pours hazy orange amber with a thin white head that isn’t very lasting. The nose is a mix a stone fruit with an underpinning of hops and metal. The flavor is a very powerful mix of fruit coriander, hops and alcohol. The finish is a sweet mix of stone fruit and Belgium yeast.

May 2, 2008 Pours a golden color with light particles floating about. The head is off white and thin, and to top it off, it fades quickly. Aroma is belgian sugar, banana, nutmeg, clove, and alcohol. Taste is banana, nutmeg, clove, light funky yeast, Belgian suger and light peach. Palate is slightly alcoholic but not too abrasive. Overall, it’s a pretty damn good BSA.

May 2, 2008 Pours a sparkling golden yellow with a snowy white head. Noise is very spicey, with yeast undertones. Head is thin and lacing is minimal. Very spicey attack, malts and yeast back up the attack and finish is smooth and prolonged with a standout bitterness on the tip of the tongue. nice beer overall.

Apr 30, 2008 yeast and sweet malt aroma ... sweet start ... fruity in the back of the throat ... light alcohol finish ... light waxy mouthfeel in the aftertaste .... fresh tasting ... fairly easy drinking ... I like it

Apr 29, 2008 Nice belgian strong. Pours golden with a quickly dissipating white head. Aroma is sweet and fruity, with a bit of alcohol in it also. Flavor is spiced fruit (this could work as a christmastime beer). It is a full bodied beer, that lives up to the commercial description of being champagne-like. I wish I had tried this one and the Russian River Salvation before trying their Collaboration ale. It would be interesting to taste the way it worked in that blend. Might need to try a 3 way tasting of the two Salvations, and then the Collaboration.
