Lost Lands: Black Nile Barley
Oxbow Brewing Company

Famrhouse ale brewed with ancient grains. Contains Maine grown Egyptian Black Nile Barley as well as European varietal hops. Crisp and solid and very drinkable.

Canned 2020/12/20

Pours a med-large fizzy 1.5 finger head with moderate retention, a bit of lacing, very hazy wheat-gold straw color

Nose brings some doughy wheat, grainy malts, some straw, lemony notes as well with a bit of lemongrass, a bit of a Farmhouse funk, and earthy notes, and I think a hint of yogurt creamy lacto

Taste brings more grain up front, gristy grain with doughy wheat, a little general funk, Farmhouse funk and a little tart, a touch cheesy like funk as well with a little creamy yogurt-like lacto I think, then more lemon zest and lemongrass, a bit of bitterness with some mild grassy lemony hops, it starts to become lemon sorbet, drier finish a touch flemmy, lingering lemon zest and hop bitterness

Mouth is med to a bit lighter bod, creamy med to a bit lighter foamy carb, a touch of acidity

Overall an interesting beer, definitely Oxbow style, lots of grainy malts and wheat, with a little tartness, some Farmhouse funk, lemon zest, etc. NOt sure I would call this a winter style though, it's more like a spring or late summer/early fall type of beer.
