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!

Ungstrup (22911) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - OCT 5, 2008
Bottled. An unclear orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is dusty hoppy with lighter notes of fruit and lactic acid. The flavor is sweet with notes of dusty hops and fruity notes of peaches and oranges. The body is thin.

Papsoe (21782) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - DEC 1, 2007
(Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of sliffy. Cloudy, muddy, amber golden with a creamy, off-white head. Aroma of yeast and spices. Fairly light in body with a vague, fruity sweetness, a little yeast and diacetyl and then a somewhat astringent quinine-like fruitiness without being overly bitter. A strange brew - as many American Saisons are. 301107

yespr (20656) - Copenhagen O, DENMARK - DEC 14, 2007
From bottle, no 13 at Papsoes blindtasting. Pours hazy orange with lacing white head. Spiced aroma, complex. Flavour holds a herbal and vegetable flavour with a subdued sweetness. Has a strange soapy and herbal finish. Strange and undefineable.

joergen (13935) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - DEC 3, 2007
Bottle. Hazy amber coloured with a white head. Sweet aroma of spices, vanilla and caramel. Sweet flavour of spices, caramel, fruits, vanilla and hops. Hoppy finish.

Oakes (10009) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - JUL 13, 2008
Opaque orange with a thick, rocky head. Very dusty, rustic nose, lightly fecal, peppery, saaz/styrian and lots of pale malt. Spicy, herbal, peppery body with a bit of a stiff alcohol signature. Slightly floral. Full body. Complex, meaty, yet refreshing. Old-timey.

fiulijn (10000) - Como, ITALY - DEC 23, 2007
2007-11-30, Papsø’s Blind Tasting
Cloudy light amber color. Plastic aroma, like the warm lights on a Christmas tree. Medium body, with a quite bad iron and vegetable taste to cover the little malt, I suspect a quite bad yeast is also the culprit. Quite bad.
