From a trade with Goldtwins, back in 2004. Hazy golden ale with a thick creamy white. Sweet malt aroma with orange, nutmeg and maderized honey. Sweet malt with touch of coriander, maple and orange peels, nice and smooth. A bit oxidized i believe as i got some cardboard notes. still, a very nice trade from GT.

Noogfest Bottle 89/2500 Hold on she’s gonna blow! I watched as TheBeerCellar2 tried to tame this beast. He was like the little Dutch Boy trying to hold back the sea with his finger in the dike! It just didn’t want to settle down and allow itself to be poured. Having sat in his cellar for four years it was no wonder. Fearing a possible infection, we were all relieved when after the first taste, it was pronounced to be good and the pouring commenced. Medum gold with a frothy head. Nice funky Belgian aroma Lightly sweet with a light body, this was a very well done Belgian style. Another good reason to get Crawford Moran back to brewing and the sooner the better.

Thanks BHB! This really didn't strike me as a winter brew. Dark gold color with a thin head (for Dogwood ales especially). Malty, lightly spiced and citrusy aroma. Flavor was malty as well with hints of spice, vanilla, and citrus. I am glad I drank this one in the summer instead of winter because I think it is suited much better to the warmer season.
