Muse Farmhouse Ale
A: Pours a slightly hazy gold with a white bubbly head. Quick head decay and spotty lacing. S: The aroma is quite indescript. Yeasty esters and a touch of fruitiness. The aroma is rough and a bit harsh - like a homebrew just coming out of primary. T: Flavors of soggy Cheerios and wet newspaper with an astringent hoppy finish. A touch of tartness, but far below what I expect from a saison. M: Medium-bodied with fine carbonation. A bit under-carbonated for the style. D: No, not even an amusing picture of a goat in a jester hat will save this one from my scathing abuse. This "saison" is an abomination. Nevermind that it tastes bad - it is just far from being characteristic of the style. I've never been a fan of ANY of Weyerbacher's brews, but after I have repeatedly given them more opportunities to impress me, this one just may be the beer that makes me lose hope in Weyerbacher forever. Alas.
