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.

RSRIZZO (1634) - Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA - DEC 10, 2007
Aroma is a sweet cider like scent. Color is a deep golden with good carbonation and almost no head, there is just a thin ring around the edge. Taste is thin and winy. Starting with a light/medium body that goes down crisp with a wine like sweetness come in then there is a sour twang that leads into a bold alcohol feel. A bitterness come out as the alcohol taste fades. There is something just not right about this brew, there is almost no Belgian yeast taste, but there is an odd sourness and the alcohol is to prevalent on the end. Its just not a good Belgian-Style Ale.

Dry and slightly spicy yeast. Some grassy hops and a hint of chocolate. Medium bodied. Slightly sticky. More sweet than dry. Finishes with a lingering yeasty dryness.

JCB (2918) - Durham, North Carolina, USA - DEC 8, 2007
UPDATED: FEB 7, 2012 Been a while since I’ve had this one, and I recall it being imbalanced and trending towards cloying malt sweetness. Thankfully, this bottle is quite different and combines a very lively champagne fizz with the dry quality of a fine blond and the fruits of a tripel. Nicely hopped to boot and with a substantial body. A good one.
