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.

Another tasting at the Salida brewers gathering. All beers are out of small kegs. Hold the glass up to the light, hang out in the park with your friends, and enjoy brews as they should be taken. This is a lovely creation, light, with high alcohol nicely hidden. It had a big head. Was the last reviewer unfortunate enough to have had it from a bottle?? Even my wife said it tasted GOOD!!

Tap @ brewery. Light yellow orange and clear appearance with a orange cream colored head. Citrusy and yeasty light Belgian aroma. Sweet and light Belgian ale flavor with some orange citrus. Some and somewhat fruity finish. Very smooth.

Once poured from the glass there is deep golden color throughout the glass. The scent at first has a sweet intense flavor that finishs with a hint of corriander. A great tasting Beligan like beer! Has a deep flavor that coats and shocks the taste buds!

Aroma: Lots of fruit in the aroma--peach, nectarine maybe--and hints of spices, nutmeg, cinnamon, clove maybe. Smells like a winter seasonal with late summer fruit--very yummy! Appearance: Cloudy orange-gold with a thick white head that dissipates too quickly. Taste: Immediate medium fruity sweetness balanced by a hint of complimentary sourness, almost like drinking a glass of orange juice. Really yummy and well balanced taste. Palate: Medium body, creamy, slick texture--almost oily, soft carbonation, loooong finish. Overall: A bit TOO fruity for my taste, but the balance and craft is solid. This is a really well developed beer which would pair well with something fancy like Peking Duck or Duck a l’Orange. It’s got enough flavor and body to handle sweet, greasy food, but a light and fruity flavour that I don’t think would work with heavier meats.

From a bottle - Ah, yes... another fine brew I drank at this year’s "Ohio River Way Paddlefest". It poured a luscious, golden color with a spicey, gardeny bouquet and a finely laced white head. It’s taste was suberb, an outstanding example of a Flemish golden beer!
