Avery Salvation

Brewed by Avery Brewing Company
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Boulder, Colorado USA

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.

Golden with a medium white head. Nice wheaty vanilla and spice. Some grainy notes there too. Nice but a bit clean.

Kook’s Farewell Bash. I was certainly curious to try another Avery after my experience with the Maharaja, though a little uncertain as well. I do not enjoy extreme or crude beers - big alcohol, big hops, big sweetness, big sourness. I do prefer balance and playfulness. This beer tends to the extreme in its sweetness, but is not quite as insulting as some extreme beers and is drinkable, if not - for me - that enjoyable. It’s sweet and fizzy like a Belgian pale ale or Triple, but there is a curious lack of character. While some interest is provided by a few yeast notes, the yeast itself is too clean to intrigue. The sweetness dominates and pushes me away, and the alcohol burns. Not my thing.

Bottle to glass: Aroma is that of bubble gum and of wheat malts; Appearance is a deep golden yellow; Flavor is a sweet alcohol with a spicy after taste; Palate is clean, crisp and smooth...

pours orange. taste of light malt, orange peel, apricot, very sweet, a slight alcohol taste, nicly spiced, a good one to pop.

From a 22 oz. gold foil wrapped capped bomber bottle, blurb along the right side of label, no bottled/freshness date, sampled from the refrigerator in a chalice. Poured a cloudy orange with a foamy white head that settled into a thin, bubbly lacing, small amount of laced sticking. Aromas of peppery spice, nutmeg and sugary alcohol, honey wheat malts, apricot and citrus fruity. Good carbonation and crisp, dry and smooth medium bodied mouthfeel. Pleasant tasting with the Avery kink, apricot, peach and orange fruity, a bit sugary, but light in the candiness, honey malts, peppery, earthy hops, a mild rolling bitterness, the alcohol is sweet and warming in the palate, and a dry earthy, peach fruity, sweet malty finish with the alcohol lingering in the palate, good strong pale ale drinkability. I can’t believe I hadn’t try this before, a good Belgian strong pale ale with the Avery twist, worth trying.

Bottle. They do make the best range of beers from one singel brewery, orange in color, sweet, fruity, one nice beer.
