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 wonderful golden color with a white forming head. Smell the big hops in this one. Wow. Great feel in the mouth and not too long lasting of a flavor. Good taste of hops and spice. Great brew from Avery.

BOLTZ7555 (1909) - Phoenix, Arizona, USA - DEC 25, 2008
Aroma of sour apple, yeast, and spice. Brass colored pour with a fluffy white head and ample carbonation. Flavor exhibits orange peel, white pepper, and honey. The alcohol is present but not distracting. A bit above average.

Bottle. Pours clear golden, with a thick, puffy, white head, good lacing. Smells of apple, fig, and hay. Medium-thick body. Lots of sweet malt, mild fruitiness, caramel flavors, and a slightly mineral edge. Slight bitter taste of hay and citrus at the end balances out the sweetness.

GardenGabe (136) - Denver, Colorado, USA - DEC 19, 2008
UPDATED: MAR 11, 2009 Pour with a big head, dense and creamy. Lots of residual lace and a clear golden color. Peppery alcohol taste some apple and some orange, slight malt (light caramel) and a surprising amount of hops. Smells of honey and chamomile Clean and dry.

This clearly wins for most intricate and colorful label I have seen. And its not the only good label Avery has come up with. There are some interesting comments on salvation thru brewing as well. Tan gold pour with moderate head. Fairly sweet honey and malt aroma plus a good amount of yeast. A robust and flavorful golden ale. The taste is hoppy, fresh, and well bittered. Not much spice or citrus notes. The 9 percent ABV is not really noticeable. Pretty straitforward for a Belgian style. That is the American way. I have yet to try a wimpy or lifeless beer from Avery.
