Remarkable. Purchased this bottle of Salvation from my local favorite that can hardly keep it in stock. Chilled into the high 50s or so the bomber poured smooth and a cloudy golden with a bright white head reminiscent of a classic Belgian Tripel.

The nose was bright and fruity with a hint of clove and a slight spiciness that showed itself in the first taste. A remarkably complex beer with a multiplicity of fruits; banana (light) berry and maybe a hint of passion fruit. The alcohol came through not so much in the taste though it was there...it was the 9.0% going straight to my head that got me.

The mouthfeel was bright and fresh with little oxygen character. Got this one fresh methinks. Keep up the good work Avery!
