330 ml bottle. Rated as the Aass version. Golden body with a white head. Aroma is grassy and light hoppy. Flavor is grain, fruity and low bitterness. Just like almost all other Norwegian pilsners. The story behind the name (mus=pussy) is from a local beer shop many years ago. This shop was managed and operated by females only and going quite well. Then they decided to get their own label produced by Aass. And since they all where female, and had a sense of humor they decided the name to be Museøl with a carton of a mice on the label. In the start it was only possible to buy this beer in this particular shop.

With two happy mice the can label looks more like a children’s drink. Pours a clear pale yellow body with some lasting frothy, white foam. Metallic smell with light hoppy hints. Citric fruity freshness before the grassy flavours take over. Medium sweetness. Thin palate (11.05.2007).

Can 0,5l. Pale golden coloured - almost yellow. A large white head when poured from a distance. Spicy, metallic aroma. Bready flavor with a cautious bitter aftertaste. A dry, cardoardish finish. No mouse found.

Biggish white head of coarse lace over clear golden body with a single tiny rising column of bubbles. Light, grassy hop aroma with touches of apple and far at the back a little malts. Taste is grainy malts with touches of bitterness and a light grassy hop profile. Faintly chewy mouthfeel. Aftertaste is lightly bitter with a touch of salt. Decent, but boring. (0.5l can.)

Bottle. The brewing of this contract-brew is now handed over to Mack in Tromsø. It is made for a chain of beer and soda outlets in the eastern parts of Norway. It pours golden with white head, and tastes much the same as most norwegian pilsners and pale lagers, hardly anything at all. Some malt and bitterness, but thats all. Thx to KØLF for this one.

I have no idea why this beer is named "musepils" (= mouse pilsener), maybe it suggests that this is a beer for mice, not men. It's also possible that it alludes to Norwegian slang: "mus" = pussy (and I'm not talking about cats here). In other words: This is a girlie beer. Fizzy pale golden, acceptable head. Weak aroma with some yeasty fruitiness. Hardly any flavour, at least it's not offensive. Low bitterness. A slight yeastiness in the short aftertaste.
