Beer review #1... Dogfish Head midas touch


This is the first beer review on this blog and I'm pleased to be reviewing this brew. Dogfish Head Midas Touch: I picked up this beer today at my local Vendome's, and im very happy about it. This Beer comes from Delaware and it fall's into the Ale tree. This beer pour's a wonderful autumn orange and it has an excellent nose. I really loved this beer from the get go. It really has a wonderful presence on the palate and it really finishes with a bang. Furthermore, This recipe is the actual oldest-known fermented beverage on the planet. This ancient Turkish recipe uses original ingredients from the 2700 year old drinking vessels which were discovered in the tomb of King Midas. So if if you like buttery chardonay this beer would be perfect for you.

Nose: Very evident is the honey which is brewed into this beer. Light grape lingers in the background of this beer, which is a very nice touch.

Palate: Sweet and medium body on the palate. The alcohol level of 9% is perfect for the beer and it helps to balance all the flavor on the palate. Some woody flavors linger from your first swig.

Finish: Outstanding! sweet and full leaves you wanting another because of how amazing this beer is.

Notes: Great with any dinner or a night cap beer. Truly should be in your weekly rotation if you have one. Dogfish has done it again!!!!!
