Description
Oxbow is a small farmhouse brewery located in rural Newcastle, Maine. The brewery is nestled in an enchanted forest amongst rolling farmlands and winding tidal rivers, of which the ebb and flow provide a constant reminder that the coast is near.
The name Oxbow is inspired by the bends in these rivers, the Dyer in particular, which features stunning horseshoe-shaped oxbows where the river covers tremendous ground to travel what could otherwise be a very short linear distance. We employ a similar approach when crafting our beers, taking months or years to create a beverage that is commonly produced in a matter of days.

Single from Churchkey. Pint glass at home. Hazy honey gold pour. Strong, off-white, lumpy head. Herbal, spiced, floral, very Wit-like nose. Bittersweet herbal, grape ale, wax, chewy grain, lingering clove. Fuzzy, waxy, yeasty texture, a bit of heat. Just a little too heavy. Good-ish.

Pour is a complete black with a large mocha tan head. Aroma is a nice combo of roasted malt and bitter chocolate. Flavor is a super bitter chocolate and roasted malt. Not a huge mouthfeel but the flavor is all there. Another flavorful beer from this brewer.

Pour is a chill haze blonde with a large white head. Aroma is chalky white bread malt and a very herbal hop. Flavor is again a super herbal lemongrass hop with some bone dry cracker malt. If you like the spicy and herbal noble hop variety then I have a beer for you. Quite tasty.

Canned 11/12/24, drunk 12/5/24. Dark. Small, light tan head to spotty cover. Ash, a bit of peanut or bean. Low roast, lots of mineral. Roasty, hoppy, maybe a touch of bean or peanut. Soft, neutral texture, not watery, with good malt depth for its size/style. Still gettin some beany DMS or something like that...love the texture though.
