Reaping and Sowing

Working together is fun!

This beer was formed when both Avery and Russian River realized that they both had a beer named ‘Salvation’. Instead of duking it out in court, they decided to blend their beers to get the best of both worlds. I feel all warm and fuzzy inside from reading that… or maybe its just the buzz kicking in. Review time.

Poured from a 22 oz bomber. Orange brown color, very cloudy. Cannot see through at all, but not dark. Head was light, looked good but dissipated quickly. Lacing decent, nothing special.

Smell was very mild. A bit of spice and yeast to it. Taste was good. Usually Belgian’s are a bit too sweet and syrupy for me. this one was thick but not syrupy at all. Head was not thick at all, but added a bit of nice carbonation to the overall mouthfeel.

Tastes of a bit of yeast, some spice, some pear also. Nice drink, clean finish with a touch of hops. Very very drinkable, hides the 8.72% alcohol well. Very refreshing.

Overall not a very challenging Belgian, but who cares? Sometimes you just need a great refreshing beer that doesn’t try to do too much. Very well made and will seek this out in the future.

Overall: A-

Beer snob would rather drink: Pear nectar
