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 courtesy of Daalamar: Poured a clean dark golden color ale with a small foamy head with little retention. Aroma of candi sugar is a bit overpowering and doesn’t allow for much else. Taste is very sweet with very little yeast or spices characteristics. Alcohol is pretty subdued but a bit too one-dimensional and boring in my own opinion.

Draft. Looked good on the pour, thick head over straw colored liquid. Pale ale structure with an overly sweet finish. Malty taste with a big blast of bitter hops. Didn’t really seem to be in balance.

Bottle (650ml). Poured clear amberish gold with a decent but diminishing white head. Spicy, yeasty, fruity sweet malt aroma, some alcohol, quite a bit of tart, almost sour fruit on warming (persimmon?). Taste is a real melange of fruit, spice, yeast, bitterness, alcohol - Lord, this is not balanced or blended, but it sure is fun. Average body, lively, herbal, sticky mouthfeel - leaves a bit of an apple core aftertaste - the alcohol sneaks up and packs a punch - short linger; my wife and I split the bomber and we were merry o yes!

Very fluffy head on this orange colored beer. Another Avery beer that fills the room with the aroma, however, this one is a bit easy to take. Can distinctly taste the fruit and yeast but I also caught a hint of what I think is liquorish root. Lots of other flavors I can pick out after a while; apricot, honey, clove to name a few. Quite complex really and unlike others, I can taste the alcohol in this one. Not bad, would drink again but like The Reverend, has sugar in it.

On tap at the Liar’s Club. This orange ale poured with a thin off-white head. It is medium-bodied and slightly sweet, but leaves a bitter chalky taste on the tongue. Very nice.

Nice brew with nutty hints, nice burly head, and burnt finish. I liked it alot, but I think it would be better in the winter months.

(05.28.06) One pint, 6 oz brown bottle from DiCarlo’s, Mundelein, IL. Poured hazy orange with small white head. No discernable carbonation. Fruity honey aroma. Medium-to-full bodied ale that starts with light malt sweetness and fruity/spicy flavors. Finished with light malt fade and some bitterness. Alcohol dangerously well hidden in this more-ish beer. Smooth and flavorful, this is an excellent ale.

2004 bottle. 2 years old. Bright orange color. White spatches of film. Aroma is sweet and malty. Flavor is pretty smooth except for a bite of spice. Pretty nice, but not something I would seak out again.
