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.

Copper body with an off-white head. Creamy and lingering. Lemony sweet aroma. Reminds me of Crystal Light. Much more subdued aroma than is typical for Avery’s big brews. Really great mouthfeel. Very soft and velvety. Pronounced yeast and citrus flavors.

Pours a rich gold color witha white head. Aroma is mostly spice and yeast, apricot, banana. Taste is fruity and yeasty, with soft hops in the finish.Mouthfeel is nice, and alcohol is well-hidden. A very enjoyable ale.

22oz. Bomber: This one pours a darker golden color. There was a limited amount of head on it, and it died off quickly. There is a very apealing aroma to this beer. No one scent is on top, but I get definite notes of apricots, nutmeg, and some yeastiness. The taste is quite slick. There aare the peaches and apricots in there, as well as some spiciness. I like this alot!

Was looking for true salvation. Got some salivation going, but as much as I admire Avery, and I do, I wasn't bowled over by this. Does one NEED to be? No. Twas rather good, malty, complex, and more, but guess I was searching for a boarding pass to Belgium and all I got was a very good beer.

2003 bottle. Thin off white head on clear amber with a few translucent flakes floating. Fruity candi sugar and green raisen aroma with some whiskey. Smooth and still on the palate. A complex fruit basket flavor with fig, yellow plum and dried apricot. Interesting, tart, almost tannic finish that fights with the prior flavors. A really amazing chorus of flavors that doesn’t quite harmonize.

Sampled at the Peoria International Beer Festival. Golden colored, no head, slightly hazy. Apricot aroma. Flavor is not as mellowed as I was hoping. Instead, it was a tad too over-hopped with little malt balance. Perhaps this is one best sampled after it has been aged. Straight out of the bottle, I was a tad underimpressed.

Hazy golden/orange color with a white head. Aroma of citrus and spices. Flavor of citrus, spices, banana and hops.
