Commercial Description:
The success of HOG HEAVEN and THE REVEREND clearly demonstrates that beer drinkers are willing to embrace "BIGGER" beers. In the fall of 2001, we decided that a lighter BIG BEER would complement its darker colored predecessors. Salvation has luscious apricot and peach aromas delicately interwoven with spicy suggestions of nutmeg and cinnamon. This heavenly soft, champagne-like elixir is cellarable for 3 years.

Brown pour. Off white head. Honey, agave nectar, oranges, caramel and hops. Flavor is sweet but has a good hop backbone to back it up. I liked this a lot.

Slightly hazy golden-yellow pour with a nice two-finger white head, good retention and decorative Belgian lace. Sweet fruity aroma consisting of peach and apple, a touch of cinnamon, slight floral hop presence, mild spice. Flavor starts off with carbonation and fruity sweetness that leads to a dry and moderately bitter finish. Medium body, moderate-high carbonation and minimal alcohol warmth. 9% is well hidden. A good beer.

Deep honey golden color was quite enticing. Rich citrus and honey aroma, with sweet golden malts. Very fruity. Slightly oxidized, I think, but flavors of honey, tingly, piney, citrus hops. Has big sweetness but is well balanced, with alcohol and a bit of tartness. Smooth and full, yet rather crisp. One of the more successful American made Belgian styles I’ve tried lately.

Color was golden orange-yellow and very clear. The head is a thin sheet of white bubbles with very little retention. It smells sweet like sugar and the taste is also sweet. The alcohol was noticeable but didn’t really detract from the beer. I really liked the Collaboration beer so I had high hopes for this one but it didn’t quite measure up. 09/08/08 I’m updating this review to add that this is a really mediocre beer. In fact it sucks.

Aged bottle. Hazy apricot color with a tiny head that fizzled out rather quickly. The nose is fruity and inviting. Peach, apricot, candied sugar, dark fruit, spices, clove, some yeast and banana are all present. The flavor is absolutely wonderful. It’s just as complex as the aroma. Sweet and fruity at first, with spices and slight hops at the end, remains sweet thought. Medium bodied with some light tingling carbonation. The alcohol is also less noticeable than I had expected.

On tap at brewery. Poured a deep golden color with a large off white head. Aroma has a bit of spice with some light honey and caramel. Banana, clove, and alcohol also are evident. Banana and clove are in the taste, but this time more prominent. There’s a bit of fruit, maybe pineapple and peach. Alcohol is there, but moderate. Finishes with some caramel malt, and a touch of the candy sugar.
