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 sampled with Beerded one. Pours light copper with a large off-white head. Aroma of hops, citrus, fruit, and belgian style spices. Flavor is pine, citrus, spices, fruit, very smooth. Good body, good brew.

Almond, alcoholic aroma. A touch of orange maybe. Slightly orange goldan pour with decent head and lacing. Alcohol is quite noticable in the mouth, though the palate is otherwise quite soft. Yeasty, wheaty taste, a touch of clove and almond. Pretty weak, really.

65 cl bottle. No yeast at the bottom. Orange colour with a small head. Aroma of yeast, coriander, orange peel and sweetness. Very tasty flavour of yeast and a lot of coriander, also hints of maltness and sugar. Ends up with a warm feeling from the alcohol.

Good belgian. Pours a bit mirky yellow with tiny streaming bubbles. Aroma is sweet and yeasty, but balanced. Flavor was sweet and sour,a bit of tea, and kicked with alcohol.

22 oz. bottle courtesy jerc. Golden colour with a frothy off-white head. Caramel, light alcohol, honey, citrus, and tea leaves (or perhaps one of those peach ice tea concoctions) aroma. Caramel, tea, citrus, light alcohol, and leafy hop flavour. Medium bodied but smooth and hides the alcohol well.

Gold color. The aroma is not impressive, the taste is much better, full bodied, malty, balanced by the bitterness, well mixed. Good.

Bottle. Golden body, with a small white head. Funky sweet yeasty aroma is sort of unique. Not quite floral, light bready caramel notes. Flavour contains similar characteristics, and notes of what one drinker described as tea leaves. Its not quite right, but its the closest thing i can think of. Palate is smoothish but on the light side. Doesn’t really do it for me, but it may have suffered a bit for being such a contrast to the sour beers imbibed previously. Thanks for the bottle Probiere!

22oz bottle - Pours golden with a moderate head. The pleasant aroma is of yeast and citrus. The palate was lively and the finish fairly crisp. I didn’t think the alcohol presence was too strong at all. However, even though I have a sweet tooth when it comes to Belgian ales, I did think this one was TOO sweet. I think a bit less candi sugar would be a good idea. The sweetness was rather cloying. There are some good spice notes though. Overall it’s a solid ale, though not a great one.
