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.

Aroma is a bit underwhelming but the taste is good! The lime is there more than the cherries, but you can get both. Couldnβt put my finger on the salt till I read the label. But now I can. Amateur style.

Can from Bine & Vine. Pours clear gold with a persistent creamy white head. Aroma is Noble hop with mildly bready support. There's a fresh green aspect. Med body. Just slightly sweet. Flavor matches the aroma. Very nice.

Snally: pours hazyish with white head. Aroma is funked up yeast. Light earth and some sourness. Another quality offering.

Canned 07/17/24, drunk 09/10/24. Clear blonde-brass. Medium-sized, white head, moderately-strong retention. Excellent mix of rustic grain and bright, elegant yeast. No unwanted phenols/esters. Mineral, spice, plaster, long, spicy, subtle hop....Just a beautiful, understated nose with gentle grains and a bit of nutty, lightly spicy rye. Soft, floral, nutty, crackery. Surprisingly not thin/too light given the rice. Definite strong hull/cracker character from the rice, but it's quite interesting. The mineral, ester, plaster and just all around soft fruitiness from the mellow yeast wins the day. Lemon peel melds with ester/phenol. Malty, dry, good depth, great attenuation. Been off Oxbow lately for no good reason and I regret it.
