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.

Pours a nice gold color with no head. Taste is odd. There is a strange hoppiness to this one that I was not expecting. It’s certainly not a bad beer, but - all the same - I don’t see myself drinking this one again. Just not my cup of tea.

From a bottle pours a orange / gold. Lightly carbonated, minnimal head. Sweet smelling, spicy, yeast, floral aroma. Crisp and lively. earthy bitter finish. This is a nice bottle.

Wonderful, a great example of a Belgian Strong ale. There is a bit of thinness in the middle, maybe too much candi sugar? still, the ABV remains hidden somehow. Expect more yeast flavors but still really good.

Draft glass at the brewery tasting room. Bright golden and politely active. Could mistake it for Coors or something at first glance. But then you start drinking ... thick with esthery flavors and a definite alcohol kick. Easily drinkable big beer. (#3525, 2/22/2009)

Avery Salvation 2/20/09 (bottle, shared at tasting. Pours havy orange with a soap-like, big bubble head. Aroma has some candy sweetness, fruit and bubble gum. Palate is soft, medium-thick, and only moderately carbonated. Finish maintains sweetness, while yielding some alcohol flavors. A little boring for a Belgian strong ale.

The smell is oranges, sweet, spices, little alcohol, fruits, and yeast. The look is cloudy, bright orange in color with an ok white head. The taste is yeast, fruits, alcohol, spices, and stone fruits.

Golden orange in color with a good sized white head. Aroma is of citrus, yeast, apricot, spices and a little hops. Taste is of spices, yeast and citrus.

First thing I noticed was the beautiful label. Warm Golden Pour...nice white head. Sweet smelling, but not over powering. You can taste the alcohol. Over all Tasty but will set up back a lil...
