True to the Dogfish Head mission statement, this is certainly unique. Simply put, it tastes like a Michelob mixed with a nice white wine. So, I definitely taste the "Muscat grapes", but I'm not sure where the saffron comes into play, but I assume the effect would be noticeable without it. The flavors are crisp and straightforward, and surprisingly you can hardly tell it's sitting high at 9%. That's still quite impressive to me. Also, I'm tasting those cola-like flavors (e.g. Old Tempest). Is that the yeast's influence (good), or oxidation (bad)? Either way, I'm a pretty big fan of this brew.
Glad to hear you're a Midas fan, Andy. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading, Justin. It makes me wonder what "beer" was like way back when...
