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!

A delicious saison from my home state. Pour was a cloudy and murky orange with a thin white ring for a head. Aroma was like a wet blanket with a bit of hops. Taste was funky and musty with some nut and yeast in there. The nice hint of hops in the aftertaste make this different than the saisons I’ve tried. Nice!

Bottle. Pours a hazy orangey gold with a fairly large off-white head. Nose is rising bread dough. Flavor continues with the yeast and and lightly sour notes. Not as funky as other saisons I have tried, but very nice smooth mouthfeel. This was good, not great, but certainly decent for the style but doI prefer more of those farmhouse tones typical of these ales.

This stuff was interesting pours out a murky orange color with a lasting white head. Smell is funk to the max, man this stuff smells almost spoiled and sweaty. Taste is actually pretty sweet compared to the funk that the nose gives you. A little spice, a little banana flavor. Interesting take on a saison, didn’t really care for it but its not too bad. I will say I probably won’t have this again.

Pours out a darker orange color. White head on it. Smell is funky and weird, some barn like smells, but mostly it kind of reeks of leather and must. It smells funky, and not really a reproduction of what I think a saison should smell like. Taste is smoother than I imagined though. Sweet, fruity, and kind of interesting. It is a very different beer but I cant really complain about it.

Awesome American Farmhouse-style ale. Dry and sweet....fruity and mellow. A great beer that could rival Belgian/French classics...nice malty finish too. Weyerbacher comes correct again.

Not much amusing about this beer. It hasn’t inspired much in me. It is one of the weaker beers made by Weyer, in alcohol and taste. I love the cover and how they experiment. By the pic, I thought it would be a bock.

Golden color with a nice and thick white head. Hazy when held to the light. A little bit of barnyard funk in the aroma along with a bit of lemon peel. Funky and spicy up front, this one ends up being dry to the point that it borders on unpleasant.
