Midas Touch Golden Elixir

Dogfish Head's first “Ancient Ale,” from Milton, Delaware, created in 1999: part beer, part wine, part mead, inspired by residues found in vessels associated with King Midas and recreated with archaeologist Patrick McGovern. Barley, honey, muscat grapes, and saffron; notes of honey, orchard fruit, and earthy spices, with a vinous finish. Bitterness: 12 IBU.
