Avery Salvation

Pours with a fizzy, white head that has good lacing. Sweet, slightly floral hopped aroma with sugar and some cinnamon. Taste is way too forward with the alcohol. Some sweetness afterwards. Slightly fizzy carbonation mixed with a creamy mouthfeel.

Bomber...golden yellow/ w a mostly diminishing white head. Aroma of sweet pitted fruits, caramel, malts, yeast. Tasted like dried apricots, malts, sweet rolls, some spices. Warming alcohol bite, with a medium mouthfeel. A bit of a sweet lingering finish...Not bad, but there are a few better on the market.

This beer had a hoppier aroma and flavor than I was expecting, especially given the heritage as a Belgian strong ale. It’s a dark golden color, with nice earthy and spicy notes to it. A delicious beer and easily drinkable.

Tap at Barcade: Slight haze to the golden pour and topped by a white ring of head. Spicy nose with some sage and thyme along with other peppery alcohol esters. Body is medium, with a honeyish sweet background overall. Lots of various spices in the flavor with thyme and peppery alcohol, which dominate. A bit simple, but drinkable.

Salvation pours a golden color with limited head and laciness put that is ok. There is very little carbonation as well. The smell is more bready then malty. A complex smell with some fruitiness but only if your looking. Definite Belgian qualites with a sweeter smell and some apricots to it. There is a well-rounded taste to it. Surprising by its 9% ABV, the breadiness is the first thing that I notice when taking a taste. A pleasing malt flavor that isn’t overpowering, the beer and mixes nice with the sweet and sour of the beers tangibles. The fruitiness in the beer is consistent more of an apricot that is too ripe. I think the yeast creates this unique flavor. There are hints of spices such as white pepper, maybe coriander, but only noticeable it you really look for it. The alcohol is blended well but there is a noticeable bite at the end of the taste coming from the hops. This might be what people don’t like about Salvation, but I think it brings a new and good flavor to the table. Overall I think this is a good beer. I would say that this isn’t a good example of a Belgium Golden Ale style, but rather as an “American” style belgium golden ale. Very smooth and taste, a bit more hoppier and a high alcohol that is not noticeable. Salvation at last.

Bottle. Golden/yellow color, white head. Fruity, yeasty flavor, quite malty and with some citric notes. Yeast and malt flavor, quite nice fruity notes, some alcohol, nice body.

Really nice american belgian ale. Easy drinking for a "big beer", lots of flavor with a fruity, malty and big spiciness. Some noticeable alcohol but big sweetness masks it well

Poured from a bomber with a very crystal clear med-yellow color. It had a vibrant white, tightly bubbled head and laced the glass nicely. Had typical belgian yeast aromas and a contrasting sharpness and softness from the strong malt background. Finished med-dry.
