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!

22oz bottle. overall a good farmhouse ale. quite bitter, but balanced nicely by malt. This beer has a somewhat distinct sequenced eruption of flavor starting rather carbonated to hoppy to smooth almost caramely malt to a crisp dry finish which is only mildly hoppy.

cbkschubert (2685) - Cochise Co., Arizona, USA - OCT 5, 2007
22 oz. bottle via trade with jasonmech77 - Pours a hazy amber color with a one and a half finger thick off white head. Nice lacing. Has a lightly spiced friut (apple & grape) aroma. Flavor is mostly esters. Palate is slightly tart and bitter. Medium body. I’m not quite sure about this beer. Not a typical Saison. Thanks Jason.

Funknmilla (636) - Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, USA - OCT 3, 2007
UPDATED: MAR 11, 2010 Cloudy dark peach with a beige head....sweet & sour aroma...reminds me of a huge wheat field, flooded with beer....flavor is fruity, almost wine-like....a fragrant yeast aroma....a natural style for Weyerbacher, impressive....slight bitterness on the finish--6--3--8- (2007).....2009 rating***not as impressed this year and my palate has evolved as well....aroma has a metallic quality to it as does the body in some sips....it still has that sweet and tart combo happening but just not doing it for me----rating above reflects 2009 tasting

emacgee (2846) - Carrboro, North Carolina, USA - SEP 26, 2007
Pours a hazy soft peachy amber with a medium off white slightly creamy head. Smells like a friggin Belgian white. Sour bretty aroma, citrus, definite orange, spicy, just like a Belgian white. The flavor has that spicy bite to it, well carbonated, orange/citrus very prominent, mild Belgian sourness, hidden macro grassy taste. Feels crisp and carbonated and finishes a bit warm. Not a 3 or whatever but definitely not above average.

theisti (2371) - Leawood, Kansas, USA - SEP 26, 2007
22 oz bottle from Secret Santa. Pour is orange - yellow almost clear with visible carbonation. Big slightly off-white head which lasts. Aroma of earthiness and some sour funk. Taste is minerally initially, then some earthiness into a clean, slightly bitter finish. Bit of an odd after taste, but overall a really refreshing beer.

aubreya (676) - Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA - SEP 25, 2007
The color was a hazy golden/orange. The head was creamy, off-white, and foamy. The aroma was wheaty/yeasty, light citris, and some hops. The flavor was wheaty and yeast, somewhat tart, and wet hay. The palate carbonated decently. The finish was somewhat warm.

Appearance :Cloudy haze of bright amber with large creamy head. Handsome ale.
Nose : Rich, slightly bombastic with its parfumy nature. Yeasty hints, spark of hops. I like that 7+
Flavour/Palate : Rich , big slightly sour with gentle alcoholic warmth. Complex and different. Yeasty, hoppy with alcohol backing . Refreshing bitterness on your lips. Neat.
