Avery Salvation

Bottle courtesy Boboski. Pours an orange amber with a thin white head. Aroma is citrusy orange hops with a little malty sweetness.Not your typical belgian maltiness, but very nice and balanced by a lot of spicy citrus hops. Solid version of a belgian strong.

bottle. puny white head (fully and quickly dissapating) into clear beautiful golden body. aromas of honey, moderate almonds, a touch of metal in finish, also some floral notes. flavor is lightly bitter throughout. moderate to long finish duration. almost flat carbonation. dry texture. overall good belgian strong.

Thanks Roy at Ruby’s for hooking me up with a bottle when the Pisgah Solstice tap was acting up. Had a little side-by-side tasting. Poured kind of flat at first but coaxed a nice head after refilling my glass. Lovely golden color. Quite clear. Lovely fruit (orange, orange peel and peach) aroma, along with strong spice on the nose. None of the doughy/floury/yeasty notes of some true Belgians, but the fruit and spice on this one are quite nice.

Definitely one of the better beers from Avery. I really enjoy the yeastiness that blends in so well with the lighter fruits flavors, this has a wonderful mouthfeel, with just enough carbonation. Almost has a marmalade, jamminess with a bit of spritz in the finish, well balanced, and delicious.

Bottle. Golden color with off white head. Aroma is sweet and slightly hoppy with notes of fruits and spices. Flavour is sweet malt and fruit with a nice bitternes.

Pours a deep gold color with a medium foamy white head. Lots of spicy hops and ripe fruit in the aroma. Sweet flavor of fruit gives away to some hop bitterness, with a bit of alcohol bite. Pretty good.

22. Pours a brilliant crystal clear medium amber with a few columns of rising carb and a solid, sudsy white head. Big peppery, earthy hop nose, with some light apricot in there. Mildly carbed body, medium and dry. Apricots and very mild tobacco notes show up on the mid-palate, along with some biscuit and dark peppery/spicy notes. This is probably good enough to finish.

Bomber. Pours cloudy hazy orange/gold nice head atop. Mandarin lemon and alcohol in the nose. Full bodied with progressive spice, coriander, mandarin, and alcohol mouth. Has some abbey characteristics. Leaves a spicy hoppy yeast taste in the long finish.
