Dogfish Head – Midas Touch
Feb0
No corny jokes required!
This beer has been in my fridge for a week and I am finally getting around to it. On a semi-side note I am turning into a real fan of Dogfish Head all of the beers that I have of theirs have been unique but yet good. On first sip this beer is a bit sweet but what else would you expect from a beer that is brewed with barley, honey, white muscat grapes and saffron? Having grapes in beer is a bit weird but for this beer it works quite well. I am surprised I like this beer as I tend to shy away from light beers but this is one that I would drink again. But then again this beer isn’t really considered a beer, the brewer describes it as “between a beer, wine and mead.” I can understand why they say this as it doesn’t have the bitterness of a normal beer (since there are no hops), the grapes make it have a wineish taste and the honey is often found in meads so go figure 
.
Overall I think this beer is pretty damn good and would be another candidate for me to give someone who doesn’t like beer. But before you discount this beer as a wussy beer take into account that it has a 9.0% ABV so it is roughly twice as strong (alcohol wise) as most beers. It is also only 20 IBU so all things considered it is not bitter at all.
The Good: Easy to drink and a great overall taste.
The Bad: Kind of expensive (about $4 a bottle) and high on the alcohol content so it is not a weekday drinker (at least for this reviewer).
Overall taste:
