Superb!

Second year of brewing - tried quite a few and so far this was the best.  My brew turned out less strong tasting than the Smugglers which can be a little overpowering, but Midas Touch had a lovely mix of depth and hoppieness (=happyness?).

My first brews were less successful - many had yeasty or other flavours, so I built a fermentation unit that keeps temp dead level and I brew at 18.5 deg C.  Also found that using S04 yeast (not used with this) improves the flavour.  

If the taste is not right or soapy then I expect that something not right with the brewing.

Urrrrrr

Good but too expensive

Disappointing

Made according to instructions with supplied yeast, 21 degrees, FG 1022. Verdict: too hoppy and too malty. What!!!? Yes, you can go too far (IMO). Lacks balance; initially too sweet, finish too bitter, hops aroma overdone, dull soapy taste. Not popular with tasters, including a beer judge who also said too malty/hoppy. A poor attempt at a big Belgium style beer. This was an expensive kit ($40) and not worth the money.
