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 yellow/amber with a large, almost cascading head. Fair lacing. Yeasty aroma (bananas) and sweet malts dominate. Taste was bananas, cloves, pears, apricots and a little spice. Alcohol was well covered. Medium to heavy body. Well done overall.

Didn’t dig this one all that much - tend to enjoy the darker belgian style brews more than the light. Taste of peach, spice, banana, and mild hop.

Poured cold into a chalice glass from a 650ml bottle. Orange hue, fruity aroma. Very surprised how great this tasted. Hoppy, sweet peachy taste...goes down smoothly. Couldn’t tell the ABV was 9%.

Bottle: Aroma is A wonderful floral, citrus, light spice of coriander, and lemon, orange, and nutmeg. Appearance is a clear orange/amber color with a large fluffy white head. Taste is pretty good, with a certain graininess to the brew, citrus is quite prevalent, I like it. Worth a decent rating.

650ml bottle pours a slightly hazy orangish-gold color with a decent head. fruity with a 9% dry alcohol taste. Another fine Avery brew, but I think I like the collaboration a little better.

Color is a golden orange. Aroma is fruity. Peach is noticeable. Taste is hops with a sweet Belgian candy sugar blend.

Pretty standard golden Belgian. Nice head that lasts a while; aroma is mostly of hops and lighter fruits like banana and peach just as the label suggests. Appearance is translucent, cloudy in the middle and thinner on the edges. Malty, somewhat earthy flavor with candy sugar, finishing in dry alcohol and hops. Not bad, but I liked it better in the Collaboration mix.
