This was the first beer in our Ancient Ales series.
This sweet yet dry beer is made with ingredients found in 2,700-year-old drinking vessels from the tomb of King Midas. Somewhere between beer, wine and mead, Midas will please the chardonnay and beer drinker alike.
For years, Dogfish Head has worked with biomolecular archaeologist Dr. Patrick McGovern to bring Ancient Ales to life. For more on Midas Touch and the experience of Penn Museum excavators as they uncovered the tomb of the legendary King Midas, read this essay from Dr. Pat.

Hazy orange color with hardly any head. Aroma of fruity grapes, sweetness. Awesome taste that goes back and forth between honey, grapes, tartness. Amazing complexity. Quite sparkling carbonation. A bit boozy. I absolutely love this one!

Old rating. Bottle from old town. Pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aromas of grale, apple, herbs and cinnamon. Thin body like a lightly carbonated juice. Herbs and spice really stand out as it warms up to room temperature. Sweet on the palate with a dry sweet finish. --- Beer merged from original tick of Midas Touch on 09 Feb 2016 at 22:56

330ml bottle shared @Buskers Pub (Rome). Light amber appearance, a bit unclear, medium foam. Aroma is fruity, malt, honey, raisins, interesting. Flavour is a bit unbalanced, sweet, caramel, honey, raisins. Medium body, low carbonation. Original ones, but not my cup of tea.
