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.

Bottle @ Kookfest. Sweet spicy hot alcohol. Not much else to comment on. Not entirely unpleasant but not drinkable. No finesse.

2 oz. samples at the Avery 13th anniversary party - 8/6/06. ’03 Salvation - Cloudy orange with a creamy off-white head. Aroma is sweet with cloves and spice. Flavor is pretty sweet with spicy cloves. Palate is pretty light for a big beer. Overall - very good strong belgian golden ale - tasty and big, but very light. ’06 Salvation - Clear and light orange in color. Aroma is similar, but has a little more banana than the ’03. Flavor is similar, but is not as sweet and has more banana. Palate is light to medium. Overall - I don’t like it as much as the ’03, but it’s still pretty good. It seems like the ’03 has mellowed and the flavors have sort of blended better. Both great beers and one of my favorite styles.

Bottle at Kookfest 2006. Gold with lasting off white head. Aroma of a Belgian Ale, some tangerine, bit metallic. Belgian triple style beer with sweetish, sticky notes. Hides the alcohol pretty well, but carbonated and metallic. I thought it was ok.

Bottled. Golden orange coloured with a rather large head. Malty and sweet. Very sweet. Notes of citrus and honey and maybe a faint hint of apples.

22 oz bottle. Poured a hazy orange color with a nice frothy white head. Aroma of citrus honey and malts. This is a smooth medium bodied brew with a dominant sweet spicy taste to it. The beer finishes nice and smooth leaving you wanting more. This is a very good Belgian Ale.

22oz bottle. Pours a light straw with a generous foaming head. The arroma is light and fruit filled. The taste is smooth and light with a hoppy finish. Malt is almost absent from this brew, which clearly makes it a golden belgian strong. The smoothness of this beer is only interuptted by the slightly off putting bitter aftertaste.

Strong hop pressence definatley outways the nice floral apricot aroma that this brew has. A beautiful golden clear color with a small white head with little retention. Has a fruity taste at first, with a big hit of acidy sourness, has an alchohol aftertaste. Goes down like champagne with bubbles in the throat.
