This beer, in my opinion, is probably the best in the world. It has everything that I look for...great taste, high alcohol, very complex, yet very refined. It is very special. It does have a beer/mead taste which is very unique. Although this beer is 9% alcohol, at times it feels like it has considerably more alcohol content - an opinion that has been voiced by others who have had it. Overall, an excellent, truly world-class beer. Certainly pricey, but in this case you get what you pay for.

I feel that MIdas Touch is the best beer in the world. It has captured the wine and beer world simultaneously. Because it uses muscat grapes which are used for white wine and combines it with a belgian tasting yeast and malt, you get an oak taste while eliminating the excessive sweet and sour taste of wine. The grape, hops, malt, and yeast round out the beer giving the drinker the great sweetness of wine and the crisp bitterness of a malty ale. Robert Donahue

Very tasty. Part Belgian blonde ale, part Ethiopian honey wine, and part chardonnay. I drank it at about 45 degrees, and it worked well.

This beer almost like a mead and wine, it is very good. This beer is sweet and smooth. It has honey in it and white muscat grapes. Saffron. It is golden in color and has a great aroma. Nice and sweet smelling. I highly recommend this, it is very good. Really enjoyable.
