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.

Beautiful flowery, honeylike, citrussy scent from an almost orange brew. Flavour is quite earthy and yeasty, marred slightly by the sharp taste of alchohol. Still, a rather nice bon-belgian belgian.

Nice orange pour with a fluffy white head, active carbonation and thick lace. Lemon and spice aroma... some coriander. The alcohol is strong in this one, immediately evident upon tasting. Very creamy mouthfeel, nice carbonation, very ’big’ as they proclaim. In addition to the heavy spice, there is some banana, clove and yeasty notes in there. Crisp, dry finish, lingering alcohol. Not bad.

Robe blonde dorée surmontée d’une mousse blanche en dentelle qui persiste. Arômes de levure, de sucre candi et de houblon aromatique. Saveurs de sucre candi, de levure, de fruits rouges, de pain et de houblon amérisant.

Pour a orange hue with considerable head. The aromas are not yeast drivern but more eathy toned. Hits of nutmeg and fruit. The flavor of liquorish root, (thanks Pete) parsnips, and potato skins fill the palate. Not overly Belgian but I really enjoy the uniqueness of this beer. I expected more hops but they present themselves in a balanced and subtle way.

peach color with small white head. yeast, sugary fruit, candy aroma. yeast, grain, spices in flavor. nice warmth going down. a hint of cinnamon in the finish. i think this one is made quite nicely-2/8/06---re-rate--clear golden with a nice soft light fruit aroma. the flavor is very peachy or apricot with some yeast. light bodied and very drinkable. still an excellent beer.

Drunk, from the largest of Lucifer glasses, this golden monster unleashes it’s true character. By all looks deceiveing, this orange hued beast slides down the throat, like a drunkard on a steep slope. Not quite Belgian, but not to be missed.
