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.

pours clear copper/gold with little head. Syrupy sweet fruit aromas, honey candied malts. Light malty sweetness is balanced by a latent and bittering hop touch towards the back with a subtle hint of spice. Nice brew

Interesting floral aroma with stone fruit notes. Bright gold color with a white head that attempts lacing. Thin to medium bodied, with light, creamy carbonation. The flavor starts with spice and stone fruit; could be some peach. Definitely could be apricot - more likely than peach. Finish is fairly dry, and not really bitter. It is hard to believe there is 9% in here. This is really delicious.

Bottle, some light malt notes quite a bit of yeast. Pours a fairly clear golden color, with a nice and fluffy white head. Maybe some slight hop notes a bit of pine perhaps. Taste is hoppier than I expected, malts are nice a slightly bitter hops finishes fades to light straw sweetness. Better than I had expected. Its nice and tasty but still pretty easy to drink, alcohol is not noticible.

Bottle. Average bubbly beige head that mostly diminished. Somewhat clear amber color. Fair display of lacework. Aroma was a lovely mix of malty sweetness and light hoppy feel. Notes of caramel, fruit / peach, light floral notes, maybe hint of underlying liquorish. Medium to full bodied with an average carbonation and light dry and at the same time light thick texture. Well balanced between the moderated sweet malty base flavor and the floral hoppyness. Light dry and what I thought was lingering fruity sweet finish. Really well brewed I thought.

From a 22 oz bottle purchased in West Springfield, MA from Table and Vine and consumed last night on my recent trip east this poured a cloudy orange with a moderate sized off-whiite head and good thick lacing. Nose shows an aroma of fruits and lots of yeast, and a hint of hops. Moutfeel was creamy and a tad sticky. Flavor is sweet and shows caramel and apples. Finish is sweet and a tiny bit of bitterness shows through. Overall a bi differenet but in the end I finished the bottle so it was drainkable.

Pours copper like an Oktoberfest with a think white head. Syrupy malt aroma with an assertive floral hop bouquet. Very hop forward with a sweet maltiness in the finish. A good beer but tastes more like an ESB than a Belgian Ale.

Tap. At the 14th Avery Anniversary party. A heavy orange/amber color with a sweet cirtus hoppy flavor and hints of a malty finish.
