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. Pours a golden yellow color, with a slight foamy head. Flavor is mellow ripe fruits, yeasty esters, a bit of pit fruit notes (peach or apricot). Slightly chewy and sweet. Finish is noticeable alcohol burn at the back of the throat. Spicy finish. Pretty solid Belgian strong.

22oz. Bottle: Sweet aroma is very complex. Notes of fruit, blueberry, bubblegum, peach, yeast, and nutmeg. Poured golden in color with a big, creamy, off-white/light yellow head that lasted throughout. Very good lacing. Clear and lightly sparkling. Flavor is heavily sweet and lightly sour but not bitter. Tastes heavily of nutmeg and cinnamon. Also hints of coriander and tart cherry. Medium to full body. Flat to soft carbonation. Finish is long and tart/sour. Finish almost makes you pucker your lips. Overall, interesting. I liked it better than I thought I might

Poured a really nice deep golden orange color with a nice white head. Aroma was Belgian yeast, malt, some peach and apricot notes. Flavor was big and bold with the Belgian yeast character but with some nice fruity undertones. Alcohol was present but not overpowering. Good Belgian style beer.

One of my favorites of the Avery beers for everyday drinking. Not as rich as many Belgian or Belgian style Golden Ales. This beer just finishes clean and makes you want to drink more. Really nice mouth feel. Drank next to the Collaboration Not Lititgation. I actually would prefer to drink the Salvation, but rate the CnL slightly higher.

(bottle) A cloudy orange beer with a small lacy head. A musty yeast aroma bright with sweet fruit (peach) and spice (nutmeg). Strong, multi-faceted flavor is very sweet with fruit upfront but it dries out with hops and alcohol on the way back; yeast and spice (pepper, coriander) are strong throughout. Full bodied and carbonation gives a soft mouthfeel. It’s definitely"big", but I like it.
