Avery Salvation

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

Pours golden with orange highlights, slighly hazy. Aroma is sweet candy sugar and spices, with only a little of the peach mentioned in the description. Flavor is very sweet, lots of residuel candy sugar with a spice finish, mostly nutmeg. Takes a little hit in flavor and overall because it’s overly sweet.

Fitting for my 777th rating. Bottle shared with barrios and sixfootsix at woody’s. Clear copper pour with good white head. Aroma really does have the fruity apricot notes as described, some yeast. Syrupy fruity and floral hops with a pine twist and noticable abv as it warms. Thought I was drinking an Imperial IPA for a second! Medium thick body with medium carbonation. Great label art.

50cl bottle from Countryside Liquors (Tampa, FL). Pours a slightly cloudy dark golden color with a thick, creamy white head. Smells sweet and flowery with notes of caramel, spice, fresh flowers, and malt. Taste is much of the same with notes of malt, caramel, spice, and fresh grass/hay. Slight but pervasive bitterness throughout and especially on finish. Generally creamy mouthfeel with slight notes of faint coffee on finish.

Bottle. What a nice surpise from Avery considering that I’ve been disappointed from most of their beers. This one turned out to be fabulous! Poured a clear golden body, thin head but left a nice ring and lots of carbonation. Aroma is of mangoes, grapes, spices and yeast. Flavor was sweet but with a dry mouthfeel. Very happy with this one.

Bomber. Pours a cloudy honey color with one finger white head and nice lacing. Nose is mild apricot/citrus aroma and yeast. Taste is yeast, light bubblegum, spice and a bitter hop finish mixed with alcohol. Medium, tingly mouth feel. Not bad, but not something I would seek out again.

22oz bottle-A dark golden/light amber body with a small ring for a head and an aroma of yeast with some citrus in there as well. This brew starts off with the yeast and citrus(almost hefe like) then goes into more yeasty and slight alcohol along with some banana. An easy drinking Golden.

From a 22 oz. gold foil wrapped capped bomber bottle, blurb along the right side of label, no bottled/freshness date, sampled from the refrigerator in a chalice. Poured a cloudy orange with a foamy white head that settled into a thin, bubbly lacing, small amount of laced sticking. Aromas of peppery spice, nutmeg and sugary alcohol, honey wheat malts, apricot and citrus fruity. Good carbonation and crisp, dry and smooth medium bodied mouthfeel. Pleasant tasting with the Avery kink, apricot, peach and orange fruity, a bit sugary, but light in the candiness, honey malts, peppery, earthy hops, a mild rolling bitterness, the alcohol is sweet and warming in the palate, and a dry earthy, peach fruity, sweet malty finish with the alcohol lingering in the palate, good strong pale ale drinkability. I can’t believe I hadn’t try this before, a good Belgian strong pale ale with the Avery twist, worth trying.

Gold metallic color; No head; WONDERFUL floral nose unlike any I have smelled in this style. Nice dry alcohol to start. Minimal spice- becomes quite cloying at the halfway mark. Sweetness is about to do itself in.
