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.

15.10.2011. 0,66l Bottle. Aroma dominated by aromatic hops. Good flavours of malt with some sweetness and there is notes of juniperus or pine. Very good beer.

Pawola22 (1993) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - OCT 20, 2009
22oz bottle. Pours a crystal clear, deeper gold colored body with a finger-width, white, fizzy head that dissipates quickly and leaves a moderate lacing. Aroma is quite nice. Flowery hops with peaches, mangos, and apricots. A nice spicing accompanies the honey-banana malts and candies. Nutmeg and cinnamon as advertised. Flavor is similar with a rounded, spiced sweetness. Lots of cinnamon and nutmeg with a light, herbal bitterness. Medium sweet, perfume-like malts with a candy taste and some fruits, but not as distinct as the aroma. Some honey and a light wood comes in at the end with a big alcohol warmth. The spices dry this out in the finish and leave a light peachy sweet, spiced nutmeg and cinnamon aftertaste. Medium bodied and extremely soft with a light carbonation. Overall, a pretty enjoyable beer. Nice aroma and solid flavor. Could use a little less spice and alcohol warmth, but tasty nonetheless. Really nice feeling body too.

Barrios (1243) - Nashville, Tennessee, USA - JAN 22, 2009
Bottle with Butters and sixfootsix. Pours an off-white lacing head with a golden body that has a hint of amber to it. Smells of yeast and sweet fruit. Flavor is yeast, bread, and apricot. Finish is sweet and somewhat long. Overall a tasty brew.

Pipper (325) - Ohio, USA - DEC 21, 2009
Great flavor bomb -- nutty and some spice, citrusy, a little bit of sweet fruit with some semi-funky yeast going on. This is a really nice offering from Avery and certainly a nice addition to Hog Heaven and the Reverend.

annunz123 (212) - Taunton, Massachusetts, USA - NOV 30, 2011
Fruit and yeast in the aroma. More fruit, especially peach, and some spice in the flavor. A little hop bitterness helps balance out what is otherwise a pretty sweet beer.
