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.

Hazy amber-orangeish hue, with an off-white head, yeasty fruity nose of peaches, oranges, with note of sweet marmalade, with some candy sugar and honey accents, with a faint coriander spiciness in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a yeasty, peachy fruity character, with a candied orange peel and marmalade fruitiness, hint of honeyness and candy sugar, with an alcoholic warmth mouthfeel, a subtle Grand Marnier liquorish note, faint floral hop, leading towards a sweet fruit alcoholic, and a mild hop bitterness finish.

On tap at the Happy Gnome. Light, golden orange in color. Syrupy and pungent aroma of sour orange and urinal alcohol. Tastes of lemon zest and some floral hops with a slight but forceful presence of alcohol. Palate is light but not hollow, and quite smooth. Not memorable, and made with a sloppy design, though it retains tolerability throughout.

Bottle. Light fruity aromas of peach orange, clove with grain and flowers mixed in. It has a smallish white head which just about diminished each time the glass sat. It’s color is an almost clear, gold hue. Taste is refreshing in that it almost has an "ade" quality to it. Acidic and salty to start, and acidy and bitter in the finish. Light to medium on the palate, dry/watery in texture and lively carbonated.

The aroma is complex with coriander, nutmeg, light fruit, yeast, malt, and alcohol. The appearance is hazy copper gold with a two finger head. The flavor is complex just like the aroma with a spicy peppery finish. The palate is smooth. This beer could be from several of the best breweries of Belgium and no one would even know it’s an Avery. Maybe I should say any of the best brewers of Belgium are close to the quality of Avery.
