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.

Poured a light very cloudy orange. Head is thin and orange tinted. The aroma is fruity cranberry sauce and banana bread. Makes me think of Christmas candy. The taste is also fruity with peaches, bananas and some toasted bread. Finishes with a slightly spicy nutmeg. Very nice and light on the palate for the abv.

This is a good Belgian Strong ALe. Spicy, malty, and citric flavors. Finishes clean, crisp, and bitter.

Gold Coloring with White Head. Fruity and a Distinct Pepper Aroma. Strong Hops, Belgian Spice Notes...Peppery, With a Warming to Back the Bigger Beer Reputation. Nothing Uniquely Characteristic About Salvation, but a Solid Big Brew Done Quite Well.

Rich golden orange body with a fading white head. Essence of flowers, fruit, honey. Complex blend of fruit and spice in the taste. Good stuff.

Tap @ TJ’s Paoli, PA. Amber with beige head that fell fairly quickly, minimum lace. Aroma was slight due to cold temp but as it warmed there was a very nice fresh, clean, malty, spicy flavor. Ample sweetness but it fit very well with the beer overall. Pleasant fruits, sweet spice ( I was getting a hint of pumpkin pie), and hop notes woven into the mix. Alcohol very well integrated. Well into medium bodied. I liked this brew and will seek not only it but all of Avery’s offerings.

JoeMcPhee (6835) - Toronto, ON, Ontario, CANADA - NOV 2, 2006
Pale golden beer. Light Belgiany phenolics in the nose with some clove and peach. Flavour is very oaky with yeasty spice over light peach/apricot esters. Honeyish maltiness. Vanilla and oakiness with some soft resinousness in back. Well balanced and tasty.

Optigon (562) - Bloomington, Indiana, USA - JUN 29, 2007
Pours clear, yellow, with a light, frothy head. Strong hoppy, spicy aroma. Solid mouth feel with a major spice and hop profile. Somewhat of apricot and spice finish.
