Avery Salvation

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

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip, Tumbler

22oz. Bottle: Sweet aroma is very complex. Notes of fruit, blueberry, bubblegum, peach, yeast, and nutmeg. Poured golden in color with a big, creamy, off-white/light yellow head that lasted throughout. Very good lacing. Clear and lightly sparkling. Flavor is heavily sweet and lightly sour but not bitter. Tastes heavily of nutmeg and cinnamon. Also hints of coriander and tart cherry. Medium to full body. Flat to soft carbonation. Finish is long and tart/sour. Finish almost makes you pucker your lips. Overall, interesting. I liked it better than I thought I might

Great beer but a Belgian style triple? I don't think so. Beautiful orange color with white lacing; looks like a California IPA. Really strong with alcohol well hidden; make that an Imperial IPA like Dogfish Head 90 minute. But wait a minute; the citrus is getting overwritten with apricot and clove and well, maybe bread and yeast? Sort of mid way between a Belgian and an IPA. Would love to know what kind of hops they used.

On tap @ the brewery. Clear golden yellow, with minimal head. Flowery, almost incense aromas--smells like an old cathedral. Taste is a Belgian bomb of flavors. There’s the incense from the nose, a ton of hoppy bitterness, with some overripe peach and other light fruit esters. A touch of seed grain and grapes as well. Floral hop bitterness is a bit too abrasive, but the flavor in of itself is huge and pleasant. Just a bit over the top on bitterness and ABV.

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.

bottle poured a cloudy amber in color with a big head that almost continued to grow from the carbination. smells of fruits, yeasts, spice, and some hops. taste is as the smell would let you think, good body with a full and somewhat creamy texture, good hops for the beer, spices, and some good fruits. good beer and masks the 9% rather well.

Bottle. Thanks to my wife, for christmas. Poured a cloudy golden orange.Mid-sized head.Fruity-citruc aroma, followed by yeast. The alcohol is hidden behind some fruit and bananna. The final result. Bettter for summer then winter. It is a refreshing ale. Nice.

Bottle/22oz - Pours a golden amber in color with a medium white head that quickly settles to a thin covering over the beer. Aroma is fruity... stone fruits and some raisin/prunes mixed in. Flavor is slightly sweet with *lots* of grassy/hay flavors that mask a lots of whatever else the beer might offer. Some fruitiness comes through, some of it overripe. Lingering "hay" flavors along with some alcohol. I must admit that I am somewhat disappointed by this beer... from such a good brewer....

One of my favorite brews from Avery. A great strong ale that is full of excellent malts and spices!
