Midas Touch

Historical Beer - Other

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.

I actually forgot I had tried this beer before, and my critique is still the same. It’s too sweet. More like a sparkling juice than a beer. Still a decent dessert-like beer on occasion, but I wouldn’t be in a rush to get it again.

I am conflicted on this beer. It tastes kind of like a chardonnay mixed with a lager. I feel like it has potential, but it just doesn't do much for me.

A cross between mead and wine. Uncharted waters for me.

From RB. Sweetish malty aroma. A weak aroma. The flavor is sweetness, dry maltiness, and some cidery notes. The 9% is almost unnoticeable but it warms nicely.

King Midas summons me to his chambers. He orders me to remove my tunic. "Sire?" I question. His finger touches my chest and my heart beams with gold and ecstacy.

Well, it appears today was the day for different types of beers! And this one is different! I guess it’s slightly fruity taste, there is alcohol, but I can’t really identify any other clear flavors that jump out. Bit disappointed I think, but not sure!

Very smooth, does not drink like a 9% which is probably because of the honey. Worth picking up if you can find it

I respect the effort of making an ancient ale, but the flavors didn't jive for me. Still, no error in execution
