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!

Look is hazy cider-ish orange with a creamy head. Aroma is very fruity. Light banana, lemon and green apple notes. A considerable grassy/yeasty notes carries on through to the flavor. Very smooth, soft, sweet and slightly banana-y flavor tat ends with a green apple crisp finish. Another solid offering from Weyerbacher, and pretty damn enjoyable for a style (saison) that I do not usually seek out.

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.

not my favorite rendition of saison, pours cloudy yello with white head, it has cheese aroma and flavor with notes of spice and flower, finishes bitter.

True amber color, that gets a bit darker with each pour addition. A smallish, but stable off-white head. Dry, light toasted malt, hint of attic and light fruit in the aroma.Fairly thin, without inciting much from the scent. Lightly toasted malt flavors mix with a sweet herbal taste. Some grass and hopsack, bits of granary, apple peel and attic also mingle in. This is not fair well as a cold brew. The flavors are really starting to come out as it warms. Mixes of wheat and light fruit, including figs and currants. Malt flavors gain some depth. The acidity does seem to be a bit high and distracts. The more I set with this one the more I like it.

Dusky gold in the glass with a diminishing head. Aromas of light grain and citrus. Some spicing, not overly much. Dry finish with bigger fruit and an uneven palate. The yeasting lends an impressive amount of spicing, but the sharpness is tangy and unidentifiable.
