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.

Dark golden color with a medium thick milky-white head. Nice effervescence. Alternating fruity and hoppy aroma. Nice tart flavor of herbs and spices and hops. Surprisingly easy to drink as well. $6 a bottle around here but this was actually worth it.

Golden/orange - clear. poured with little head then nothing. Fruity/flower aroma. The first sip was alcohol/yeasty/sugar/hops - a blast of every great flavor at once. second sip - alc and sugar. Medium/thin body - full yet not heavy. My face warms. I’m drinking this a bit cold - the flavors are confounding my tongue - complexity. The sips begin to alternate - yeast/hop then I notice a wee little bit of prickly carbonation, then hops/alc followed by some sweetness and more warmth. I thought this was bottle conditioned, but it remains very clear in my glass. Things get a bit intense as it warms, I think colder is better on this one (for my tastes, at least). Nirvana.

Pour a orange hue with considerable head. The aromas are not yeast drivern but more eathy toned. Hits of nutmeg and fruit. The flavor of liquorish root, (thanks Pete) parsnips, and potato skins fill the palate. Not overly Belgian but I really enjoy the uniqueness of this beer. I expected more hops but they present themselves in a balanced and subtle way.

Poured a cloudy light orange with a short lived head. Aroma is like that of a brandy with scents of alcohol, candied fruit and spices. Flavors of apricots, peaches, and coriander are most apparent. The quite a nice fruit and spice complexity as the beer finishes out. Medium bodied and quite sweet for the style but still s very flavorful beer.

Aroma filled the room upon opening and pouring. Decent head retention and definite raw fruit salad aroma (apple, pear, grape, hint of banana) as well as some whiskyish aroma. Spicy flavor dominated by clove, biscuit, bread yeast, dried fruit. A hint of alcohol warmth on the tongue. A pretty rich beer all around with flavors that continued to evolve. Great label!

Complex, balanced, lively, crisp taste and aroma. Yes you can whiff peach and apricott. I catch the nutmeg but not the cinnamon noted. Mercifully, not as much acidic sourness and yeasty taste as some beligans. Frothy off white head. Earthy somewhat bitter finish. Hildes the 9% alcohol.
