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.

A bit darker than I expected, and also hoppier than I'd have liked. Aftertaste is malty, but nice. Efferfescent and frothy, but not as much as some Belgians (Dubel). I liked it.

flutetokill (518) - Fresno, California, USA - MAY 16, 2004
Glowing hazy apricot color with a creamy off-white head. Sweet caramel, belgian candy sugar, apricot and spice aroma. Nice sweet belgian candy sugar, apricot, honey, and floral flavors with some hops in the finish. Soft feel, nice tiny bubbles.

Dorwart (2110) - Robbinsville, New Jersey, USA - MAY 31, 2004
Decent head from the pour. Low carbonation. Great aroma. Peaches, yeast, spices, its all in there. Color is a slightly hazy golden ornage. Soft flavor, slightly sweet with more spices, light fruit, decent malt balance. Crisp and clean and very easy drinking. Finish is slightly bitter and warming from the alcohol. This is some good stuff. Surprised that it is not rated higher. A very good belgian ale!

ontario102 (794) - Boise, Idaho, USA - JAN 10, 2006
Very spicy, peppery, and perfumy nose, I don’t typically care much for "perfume" in my beer, but this is a very nice combination; great complex, hoppy, and fruity flavor with ample maltiness and a tangy, peppery finish; oily finish. Probably the most artistic bottle ever, and an outstanding beer!

Maria (7805) - Thisted, DENMARK - JAN 2, 2007
Warm amber with a small head. The aroma has notes of hops, spice (coriander and more) and fruit. The flavour is fruity with notes of peach, a bit of apple, coriander, candy sugar, caramel and the finish has a nice bitterness, more than the Belgian ones, but just right for me. A nice one - seems to be words at the end of all my Avery ratings :)

Clear, copper color. Offwhite head with lacings. Aroma of yeast and tangerine. Dry, hoppy flavor.

Sweet aroma, golden orange color, white foam head. Nice spicy and fruity Belgian taste. An exellent Belgian-style ale.
