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.

From the bottle, about two years old. Pours a nice golden amber with a small, quickly disappearing, head. Beautiful nose. Pit fruits hit you hard. Peaches, apricots, maybe slight mango. This is followed by nice subtle spices dominated by nutmeg. Taste follows suit. Heavy on the spice with cinnamon playing a big part. The fruit is definitely there also. 9% but not a heavy burn and finishes nice.

aroma of pears and light bubblegum. appearance is transparent golden. flavor is heavily spicy and burns the throat along with its substantial ABV. flavor fades back into some of the sweet fruits from the initial nose during its dry end. spice seems obtrusive at first but becomes tolerable after a couple ounces.

Dark honey color with a frothy white head that dissipates fast but leaves nice lacing. Sweet aroma of honey and apple. Lots of malt in the flavor with just a bit of hoppiness at the end. Finishes dry with a bit of alcohol warmth. Well balanced and quite drinkable.

Moderately strong mixture of DMS, babyfood, and peaches on the nose. Cloudy golden, medium head, nice lacing. Baby food and vinous peaches. I thought I tasted chlorophenols, but maybe not. This is the second straight beer I’ve had that fizzles out in the end. I will say that I like this better the more I drink it. Alcohol is concealed but barely noticeable. Avery is not one of my favs and there are a few more on deck Ugh... Maybe I’ll find one I lke. I’ve got the Reverend, Hog Heaven, and Brabant

Very good, but did not taste as strong as it was. Very fruity and light bodied. Lightly sweet with apricot and pears primarily. Mild yeast and spice. No alcohol. Small head and light carbonation. Fairly mild for the style, but super drinkable. Well balanced and not too sweet.

22 oz bomber. Light golden brown pour with a medium tan head. Aroma of caramel and yeast. Taste of Belgian yeast, caramel, malt and brown sugar. Nice slightly sweet though somewhat thin finish.
