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.

Clean amber, small crown on top. Sweet, fruity aroma, noticeable alcohol. Medium-light body, soft texture, some wheat like character. Alcoholic finish. This al would benefit from lower alcohol content.

Poured into my Duvel glass. Golden boardering on orange. Started with a huge head but disipated to just a thin layer on top. No visable carbonation. Crystal clear. Upon the first whiff, honey, perfume, spicey yeast character (clove, cinnamon), and some apricot. Now the drink. Pear, alcohol, sweet, and sticky. I don’t detect any hops. Its kind of solventy at the end. I think its a fine beer. I may even be drinking this too warm. Fine enough beer.

Bottled. Aromas of honey and oranges. The flavor is a bit dusty with malt notes. Finishes a bit hot and dry.

Gold in the glass with a brief white variable head. Some lacing. Fantastic label. Aromas are strong pit fruit, especially peach, and some lemon. There is a malt presence here, too, slightly nutty, along with some soapiness of yeast. Astringent beer, with some clove/cinnamon spice and a light finish. Soft palate, yes, but at the cost of the hops. Still, a delicate, fine brew if you aren’t looking for a hop-heavy Belgian strong.

Avery did not live up to their name this time. This ale is fairly simple. There is a sweet malt aroma. The flavor has an odd herbal quality. Sweet, with a dry finish. Decent palate, fairly smooth, until it gets near room temperature and becomes more difficult to drink.

Bottled. Dark golden colour, small white head. Fruity caramellish and hoppy aroma. Sweet caramellish fruity hoppy flavour. Fruit in aftertaste. Very pleasant and welldone beer.

(bottle sampled at Stockholm Beer Festival) Golden with a large fluffy white head. Dry aroma of oranges, white bread and pepper. Sweet flavour of oranges and spices with a really dry aftertaste of orange-peels, pepper, alchohol and hops. Great beer!
