Avery Salvation

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

Very spicy, peppery, and perfumy nose, I don’t typically care much for "perfume" in my beer, but this is a very nice combination; great complex, hoppy, and fruity flavor with ample maltiness and a tangy, peppery finish; oily finish. Probably the most artistic bottle ever, and an outstanding beer!

I let this one sit in a box for a while before I remembered it... maybe a year? Shiny clear amber/gold/orange color. Thin white soapy ring. Malty aroma. Kind of odd... very sweet banana. Taste is slightly stale, mostly sweet banana. Slight hop notes, but very sweet fruity malt. Kind of pleasant, but not with too much.

Has a decent, musty fruity aroma to it. Nice cloudy orange color, with a golden head. Flavor is somewhat bitter, slightly fruity. Decent body, with good carbonation. Overall, this is a pretty good one.

Yellow jello with a small cap of white dawning the top for a brief stay. A thinnly bubbled collar remains and lace is minimal with thin looping strings. Stank, dark, old, past its prime citrus sitting in a basement aroma. Quite musty with a dryish yeast is prevalently upfront on this one and without much complexity. Gains an alcoholic plastic/elastic nudge as it warms. Taste is tropical and deeply musted with candy coated yeasty dryness. Its quite a ride really. Some off areas in balance, the front and middle are the better areas. Kinda peachy, drafted with the fuzz from the skins right in there. Some old pineapple, red appley, and yellow raisin, or maybe, were once grapes but now are raisins because they’ve been sittin’ a little too long. Ya know what I mean? The finish is drab and overstated with too much yeastyness, totally flattening out the once, interesting mixtures of over-ripe, not so ripe, tropical fruity tones and candyish malts. Feel is smooth and quick with some very floating silkyness in a few areas where the malts do their thing. Carbonation is on the lighter side getting better as it warms; as it should. A good brew with a few areas that made it less distinguished and impressionable then most of the Belgian Goldens out there. A good old fashion American try that works in most ways, but perhaps a bit understated and less complex then it could be.

Orange beer with a white head. Malty and yeasty aroma with notes of apricot and peach, strong alcohol precense. Sweet and hoppy bitter flavor, light fruity and a with an alcohol finish.

this was a good drinking BIG beer. strong alcohol but mild flavor. But it does go down easier than - ’the reverend’ from avery. My favorite avery product has got to be the ’ The Kaiser’.

Bottle. Fruity aroma with some hops. If I was blindfolded I would able to tell that this was made by an Americcan brewer by the aroma, though it does have notes of Belgian yeast. Really nice hazy orange body with white to off-white head. Some lace. Big Belgian yeast flavor with dark fruits and candy sugar. Really excellent. Good hop profile, though not hoppy per se. Underrated.

Bronze with a small white head. Aroma is yeast, hint of banana, and spices. Smells very sweet too. Flavor is yeast and spices with some floral notes. Overall very bland. Very dry finish.
