Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Avery Brewing Company Salvation
Belgian-Style Golden Ale. I have previously reviewed the other two beers in “The
Holy Trinity of Ales” series and thought this was a fitting night to unleash
the final chapter.
From the Avery Brewing Company website: “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. Luscious apricot and
peach aromas are delicately interwoven with spicy suggestions of nutmeg and
cinnamon in this heavenly soft, champagne-like elixir.
Salvation is the final installment of “The Holy Trinity of
Ales” series.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
a slightly hazy golden pale orange color with a nice white head and soapy
lacing.
Aroma: Belgian candy
sugar and yeast, sweet and bready malts, banana, clove, peach, apricot, citrus
and nutmeg. An amazing nose!
Taste: Peach,
apricot, pear and dark fruits, citrus, Belgian candy sugar and yeast, pale and
bready malts, vanilla, banana, clove, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Overall: Crisp
and tasty, Avery Brewing Company Salvation Belgian-Style Golden Ale is very
good. At 9% ABV I highly suggest this to
fans of the style. I would most definitely
purchase again!
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
