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.

Bottle pour at Birreria Volo. Pours cloudy dark amber. Aroma has saison funk and berry tartness, some bugs. Flavour has a good punch of wild yeast, a good kick of berries. Good carbonation. A bit on the malty side, but a really solid saison.

Bottle drunk 6/6/24. Clear brass. Small, fleeting head. Super mellow nose full of fruit and mellow lactic cultures. Soft, tart, malty, oaky and balanced with vanilla, heavy cherry and great attenuation. Nicely malty, mild, enjoyably tart. Really nice, well-developed, fruity Brett.

Pours slightly hazed gold into a tulip. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Tart lemon and funk aromas. Sharp with band aid, horseblanket and funky lemon front to back. Not bad for 3.8%, 8-year-old bottle from 2016...
