GlenVargas (120), El Paso, Texas, USA Dec 31, 2007 Avery Salvation (22 oz. bottle) is one the few blonds I’d call gorgeous. (I’m more a fan of the darker beers and women.) Anyways, this beer has a suitable white head and a sweet, fragrant, slightly malty aroma. There are a lot of sweets going on with the taste--sweet malt, sweet wine, sweet ’n’ sour even--and a sort of syrupy thickness and a subdued spiciness. Was there something appley in there too? I also detected some weird metallic or gasoline hints alongside the hoppy bitterness of the finish. Nonetheless, Salvation is definitely one of my favorite Avery brews. scrizzz (1250), kirkland, Washington, USA Dec 30, 2007 apricot aroma but musty belgian yeast dominates. clear honey nice lacing. candied sugar is a strong base and i dont pick up much else. still good Snojerk321 (1917), San Diego, California, USA Dec 28, 2007 22oz bottle from Bevmo Carmel Mountain. Salvation poured a light sunset orange, head was fizzy, medium in size and off white. Aroma of citrus fruits and yeast. On the pallet it was somewhat sweet, light hop flavor. The finish was nice n’ tingly......lol rauchbier (2992), Isle Of Beer, Lincolnshire, England Dec 24, 2007 Bottle, at various locations during the Zythos weekend, March 2006. Gold, moderate white head and good condition. Big intense malty sweet perfumed honey notes tempered by chalky bitter yeast.
troyc (1173), Lubbock, Texas, USA Dec 21, 2007 (Bottle) Pours a light amber color with little head, but champaign-like carbonation. Light fruit and yeast in the aroma. Taste included some sugary cotton candy notes, some vanilla, and a good amount of spice as well. Light hops as well. Good palate and fizzy mouthfeel. The alcohol is nicely masked within the beer. Oakes (8057), gone rambling, Vietnam Dec 19, 2007 Golden-brown colour. Fruity, chewy nose with light phenols. Hints of bubblegum on the palate, along with spicy notes and hints of yeast. Middlin. riversideAK (2648), Shoreline, Washington, USA Dec 18, 2007 Pours golden with lots of bubbles. Fruity esters in the aroma accompanied by some spice and some floral hops. The flavor is very similar almost to a tee. Zesty carbonation and mouth-feel. I enjoyed it. Beershine (2678), Hue, Vietnam Dec 17, 2007 Pours a honeyed color with a thick white head. Aromatic, soapy hop smell. Maltier in flavor than it looks. A nice dose of sugar too and balanced.
