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.

Bottle @ Københavnske Øldage 2007 in Copenhagen. Unclear light amber orange color with a small fizzy fair lacing mostly diminishing off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, hoppy and yeasty, sweetness, peach, apricot. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and light bitter with a average duration. Body is medium to full, texture is oily, carbonation is flat, finish feel is light alcoholic.

Hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma of citrus and ripe, tropical fruits and fresh hops. Pretty much the Avery house character, which I love. Flavour is also more Avery than Belgian, but on the sweet (and peachy) side.

Poured a peachy, orange color with a thin whispy white head. More hop fragrance than I imagined, slightly piney but also contains grainy, yeasty and a sweet, candy aroma like bubblegum. Initial flavor is sweet and candy like, but the finish brings a strange flavor of medicine. I was disappointed in the flavor and the finish.

Hmm, well I’m not really sure what the big deal is with this one. It approximates the good Belgians, with light phenolic and banana notes, along with a fairly interesting hop aroma, piney and almost citric. Further, there was a bit of a strong and simplistic caramel note, so that in the end, this seemed too sweet and lacked the fluffy body of the great examples. Also, I noticed this had no yeast sediment at all, and poured a very bright and crystal clear orange color.

Bottle at Kookfest 2006. Gold with lasting off white head. Aroma of a Belgian Ale, some tangerine, bit metallic. Belgian triple style beer with sweetish, sticky notes. Hides the alcohol pretty well, but carbonated and metallic. I thought it was ok.

Bottle courtesy of Daalamar: Poured a clean dark golden color ale with a small foamy head with little retention. Aroma of candi sugar is a bit overpowering and doesn’t allow for much else. Taste is very sweet with very little yeast or spices characteristics. Alcohol is pretty subdued but a bit too one-dimensional and boring in my own opinion.

Goldena le with a thin white head. Light ginger and coriander in aroma, light alcohol, quite nice. In mouth, fresh hops, orange peels,coriander, bubble gum and alcohol warmth. Rich bodied, a pleasure. On tap at BCTC 2006.
