A beverage based on the residue found on the drinking vessels in King Midas' tomb. Our recipe highlights the known ingredients of barley, white Muscat grapes, honey and saffron. Somehwere between a beer, wine and mead, this smooth, dry ale will please with Chardonnay or I.P.A. drinker alike.

"Pours a clear golden-orange colour with plenty of carbonation. Aroma is of honey, grain and pears. Taste is soft and malty with honey, oats and lots of sweetness. Nice beer overall."

[2] Review by greedycheater from Edmond, OK, USA who has tried this beer once. (8/6/2008 11:31:53 AM)
"Pours a rich golden yellow leaving a thin white head. A sweet, spiced aroma of raisin, honey and wheat. Tastes like a bad wine, sweet and dry with a slap of alcohol. There's a small hop bite and something of a malt creaminess. Not what I would recommend for someone who hasn't tried Dogfish before."

[3] Review by kinger from North Canton, OH, USA who has tried this beer once. (4/29/2008 7:44:52 PM)
"A small reward to myself for catching a slightly elusive mouse, of course I had bought this bottle before I realized there was a critter to be caught but it still seemed fitting after the fact. An interesting and tasty brew, very unique and enjoyable. Poured a clear, deep gold color with quick carbonation and a lasting, thin, filmy head that left little lace. Sweet white wine aroma mixed with fresh spring flowers. Earthy as well with a detectable honey scent. Medium to light bodied, sweet and exceptionally smooth. Drinks real nice and easy, wonderful zesty mouth feel. Flavor is reminiscent of a light white wine, there is a big grape presence. Lots of honey flavor as well as flowers and sweet spices. Well made, I may make this a yearly treat."

"This was one of the most interesting beers I have ever had. I liked it but I did think that it was a bit too complex. A lot of flavors were incorporated into this brew, and whiel I can appreciate that, it wasn't my favorite. Notwithstanding, it was a remarkable beer - certainly one I won't forget. I would recommend everyone giving this beer a try."

[5] Review by Cybercat from Atlanta, GA, USA who has tried this beer once. (3/21/2008 8:11:33 PM)
"Color is a clear, beautiful beer-golden. Aroma is quite fruity and has a zing to it. Flavor has a strong ale taste with some bite and a whisper of lemon. Although it is hoppy, Midas Touch is surprisingly and pleasantly not bitter. The pleasant and jazzy mouth-feel make this a good sipping beer."
