Dogfish Head Midas Touch
Not to whine, but this beer is grape... I mean great! I mean grape and great.
Let's see: Clever label (CSI forensic finger print), nice giant, if self destructing head, beautiful gold, if cloudy color, breaded, if mildly hoppy aroma (that may well be "saffron", as promised), and delish balanced grapey, dry dessert, or citrus-sangria sherry wine taste, but with a thicker, ale mouth feel. This beer is like a time machine, into the grave of some tyrant-plutocrat, who pulled such a storied ticket in life's lottery, yet now, thanks to Sam in Md, and his storied success with Sabco's Brew Magic, you and I can pony up just (as in justice) $12.99 for 4 pack that makes "every man a king".... (was that Louisiana's Gov. Huey Long, said dat? Well you know'dat.)
