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 a deep gold with minuim head.aroma of sweet malts,bubblegum,cloves and a very pleasnet floarl hop note,taste his creamy yet prickly strong malt backbone with various phenloic notes and a nice floaral hop note in the backround(just like the aroma)hides the alcohol well.little too no lacing and a light too medium body.overall pretty good not as complex as I would like a belgian style too be but still good.

22oz bottle. Pours a slightly hazy orange with a thin head that rapidly retreats to a a spotty head that fades to almost nothing. The subsequent lacing is tattered and sparce. Smell; bananas and cloves are dominant, but I also detect a little citrus and yeast as well. There’s also some spices that are a bit hard to pick out, but they are there. Overall a little weaker than I would have liked in the aroma department. Taste; the flavor carries through more so than the aroma did. This is definitely fruity, with bananas, lemons and apricots. This has a very sweet honey like quality that’s balanced a bit by some peppery spiciness, with a prominant alcohol presence. Unfortunately this became pretty harsh after it warmed up, and became quite a bit harder to drink. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a drinkability that takes a hit due to a high alcohol content and a sweetness that becomes a little cloying after a while.

Pours a clear and bright copper orange, topped by a good inch of off white foam. Decent head retention, good lacing. Strong dry malt aroma with some orange and a hint of tea. Quite sweet flavor, again with some orange and stronger tea. Candi sugar and coriander and just a hint of bubblegum into the finish. Alcohol, coriander, clove, green hops, and bitter orange in the aftertaste. Medium to full body, softly carbonated, quite smooth sipper.

This beer pours a golden amber with no head. on the nose I am getting bread and malt. This beer is very typical of the style of a belgian ale. Not a very bad beer at all... Cheers!

Pours hazy medium orange with a small frothy white head. Aroma is complex, malty; cookies, hoppy: pine and oranges, Yeasty: bubblegum. Flavor is close to perfectly balanced with an average duration finish. Light to medium bodied, a bit oily and lively carbonated. Excelent!

Warm amber with a small head. The aroma has notes of hops, spice (coriander and more) and fruit. The flavour is fruity with notes of peach, a bit of apple, coriander, candy sugar, caramel and the finish has a nice bitterness, more than the Belgian ones, but just right for me. A nice one - seems to be words at the end of all my Avery ratings :)

Big bottle poured golden honey color with sustained white head. Sudsy and almost oily. Syrupy aroma of bananas and cardamom. Complexities that I can’t place. The flavor is sweet and spicy with mild bitters. The mouthfeel is soft carbonation with medium body. Very good. When I get my hands on another one I’ll age it a while.
