71. Dogfish Head Midas Touch


This beer is certainly unlike anything else I have tried. A very interesting combination of honey, saffron, papaya and melon. You can certainly smell the saffron after poured. The head in the photo is probably a result of a bad pour on my part but it does have a fair amount of carbonation and great coloring. Overall I gave this an above average rating as I like original beer and of the 71 different beer reviews done to date this one is unique. 
Pros: Unique
Cons:  Alcohol taste is strong at times
Alcohol Content: 9.0% ABV
Calories: ???
IBU (Bitterness): 12

Rating: ★★★½☆
Brewers Website: Dogfish Head
Brewers Description: This recipe is the actual oldest-known fermented beverage in the world! It is an ancient Turkish recipe using the original ingredients from the 2700 year old drinking vessels discovered in the tomb of King Midas. Somewhere between wine & mead; this smooth, sweet, yet dry ale will please the Chardonnay of beer drinker alike.
