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.

Dark golden pour with minimal head. Aromas of malty sweetness, honey, spice (maybe coriander?), and fruit. Palate is sticky sweet, laden with honey, candi sugar, and a little touch of peach/pineapple. Finishes with a yeasty tang and trace residual sugar. Decent Belgian.

kjohns (109) - North Dakota, USA - MAY 1, 2012
Clear light golden pour with thin off-white head. Fruity aroma of peach and apricot with some spice notes - pretty nice. Taste begins with a big dose of spicy Belgian yeast followed by some sweet fruitiness and just a hint of bready malt and finishes with just a very slightly bitter aftertaste. Creamy mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. Pretty decent overall.

mcmisko (273) - New York, USA - APR 20, 2012
Pour gold with small white head. Smells like golden fruits, flowers, and a little spice. Taste is big and complex with notes of flowers, apricot, banana, sweets malts, spices, yeast and hops. Med-full bodied. After taste has cinnamon, malts and dry hopped. Hop presence is big, but not too bitter. Cinnamon is pretty obvious and creates a lot of warming on the tongue. Good, interesting, and balanced beer.

GothGargoyle (273) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - APR 12, 2012
Appearance is clear golden with a pale head that leaves behind some nice lacing. Aroma is peach, apricot, marmalade, pear, hint of wet hay. Reasonable body, slightly syrupy mouthfeel, sweet on the palate with a little bitterness in the finish. Taste is stone fruits, honey, citrus. Seems quite like a Belgian Tripel.

HenryXXX (60) - British Columbia, CANADA - APR 12, 2012
The beer pours a golden straw color with white head. The nose smells of floral apricots, subtle spice, perhaps coriander and nutmeg and hints of cinnamon. The Flavors starts with a little barnyard, followed by a sweet apricot the middle has a touch of bitterness and finishes with a off dry sweet flavor. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Lilja (174) - Malmö, SWEDEN - APR 12, 2012
Fruktig, rund och fin smak av aprikos och apelsin samt belgisk jäst. Den vi drack var lagrad 1 år vilket gjorde smaken mer balanserad. 3,7p
