The Muntons Hand Crafted Midas Touch Golden Ale Kit is a bright, modern take on a classic golden ale, crafted as part of Muntons’ premium Hand Crafted series. This range is designed to go beyond standard beer kits, focusing on better balance, fuller flavour, and recipes that feel closer to small-batch craft beer than entry-level brewing.

Midas Touch Golden Ale is all about clarity, freshness, and drinkability, without being bland. It pours a clear golden colour with a lively head and immediately offers inviting aromas of light malt, gentle floral hops, and a hint of citrus. On the palate, it’s clean and smooth with soft biscuit and honey-like malt notes, balanced by a refreshing hop bitterness that keeps each sip crisp and moreish.

What sets this kit apart from regular Muntons kits is the depth and polish of the final beer. The Hand Crafted series uses higher-quality ingredients and more thoughtfully developed recipes, resulting in beers that don’t need extra additions to shine. The flavour is fuller, the balance is better, and the finished beer feels intentional rather than simple.

This golden ale is extremely versatile. It’s an excellent everyday beer that works just as well on its own as it does alongside food. It pairs nicely with grilled chicken, seafood, salads, mild curries, and lighter cheeses, making it a great option for sharing with friends who appreciate an easy-drinking but flavourful pint.

To brew this kit at home, you’ll only need standard brewing equipment such as a fermenter, airlock, sanitizer, bottles, caps, and a capper. The yeast is included in the kit, and you’ll just need priming sugar at bottling time to carbonate the beer. A short conditioning period will produce a fresh, lively ale, though a little extra time will help it clear and round out even further.

If you’re looking for a refined, approachable ale with excellent balance and broad appeal, the Muntons Hand Crafted Midas Touch Golden Ale Kit is a standout choice and a great example of what the Hand Crafted series does best.
