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.

This brew pours nicely, not a lot of fizz but a nice white head and lingering lace. It’s a translucent golden color with a sweet and spicy aroma. The dry taste reminds me of some of my favorite brews from Unibroue or whatever it’s called now. It’s spicy, sweet, fruity, with some peppery notes, especially at first sip. It definitely warms on the way down! It finishes nicely too, with some lingering, hoppy fruit and spice. I like this kind of brew, and it’s a nice change from some of the sweet, thick Avery offerings I’ve experienced lately!

Gold Coloring with White Head. Fruity and a Distinct Pepper Aroma. Strong Hops, Belgian Spice Notes...Peppery, With a Warming to Back the Bigger Beer Reputation. Nothing Uniquely Characteristic About Salvation, but a Solid Big Brew Done Quite Well.

Poured a clear orange with a medium sized off-white head. Spicy yeasty aroma with fruit underneath. Flavor starts spicy and gets spicier toward the finish. Some fruit and toffee underneath. Dry warming finish.

Bomber bottle. Hazy orange color with a small white head that diminished quickly. Full complex fruit and spice aroma. Medium body. Good sweet fruit and spice flavor with a small alcohol bite at the finish. Another good Avery brew.

Small white head, which quickly disappears, over orange-red body. Lovely, fruity aroma with notes of honey, yeast, and spice. Big, full taste, with grass and fruit notes; very like a normal Belgian trippel. Something odd about it, though, like a slightly off taste. Aftertaste is quite bitter, in fact, maybe too bitter. Overall, a good beer, but certainly far from the best trippel I’ve had. (0.65l bottle in glass.)

Clear pale/light copper with a quickly dissipating white head and syrupy lacing. Sweet spicy (pepper and hints of coriander.) nose . Nice spice, malt , fruit, and yeasty flavors with a dry finish. Great lacy mouthfeel. Good beer.
