COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Our latest creation, MUSE, is a Farmhouse Ale with a distinctive Weyerbacher signature. Farmhouse Ales, by tradition, were used as restoratives for workers during the warmer months under the hot midday sun. Typically made with barley, sometimes wheat and oats as well, a Farmhouse Ale could be light golden to amber in color, but always with a dry, slightly tart finish, thus being a great thirst quencher.
Weyerbacher MUSE is light amber in color, brewed with barley and a healthy dose of raw wheat and raw oats as per tradition, to give it a mouthfeel that’s both silky and light at the same time. The wheat and oats add a bit of cloudiness to the beer as well, so don’t be afraid, sometimes cloudy is good! A very special Belgian yeast strain was used to ferment this particular brew, and it was done at downright “hot” temperatures, 78 F, in order for the yeast to develop its spicy profile that is expected for a Farmhouse Ale. No spices were added to this brew, its all from the yeast.
MUSE is hopped with Styrian Goldings for bitter, and Saaz for aroma, both just adding even more to the dryness of the brew. Putting it all together, you have a slightly spicy palate, with pleasant aromas and very dry, mildly bitter finish. At 6.2%, you’ll want another one so you can ponder this intriguing taste profile, and you may find yourself wondering why you haven’t explored Farmhouse Ales before!

Oct. 2007 - Orange pour with a yeast swirl like a tornado in the beer. Smallish head and some lacing also evident. Flavor was wheat with some light fruit, mild funk and loads of grass and peppery spices. Mouthfeel is thick and syrupy. Not bad, but not my favorite Weyerbacher offering.

Dogbrick (4531) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - MAR 24, 2008
This beer pours a hazy orange color with a thin and foamy white head that dissipates quickly. Thin rings of lacing. Barnyard aroma with some pale malt and spice. Light-bodied with flavors of tart fruit and musty malt primarily, plus a bit of hops and yeast. The finish is dry and fruity with a mild yeast aftertaste. So-so overall.

LyndaNova (524) - Manchester, New Hampshire, USA - MAR 12, 2008
Cold 22oz bottle: Pours a cloudy medium orange sunset color with a moderately sized fluffy ivory head that mostly diminishes into a layer of bubbles. Aroma is of light grains, fruits, spices, earth and grass. Taste is of rich grains, spice and light fruits. Medium to heavy bodied (particularly for this style) and crisp with excellent carbonation. Ending is dry; of earthy and grassy bitterness and some lemon, with light alcohol burn and some malty sweet notes.

UPDATED: MAR 11, 2008 Bomber. Pours honey-amber with lots of carbonation but not much of a head that dissapates quickly. Smells OK, some funky sour notes with spice. Good lively mouthfeel. Mostly spice and malt with no real funky kick at all...bummer.
