Description
Wild Moon by OXBOW is an intriguing Saison that captures the essence of Maine's brewing heritage. This farmhouse ale, with a 7.5% ABV and an IBU of 30, offers a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation. Its character is defined by the use of wild yeast strains, imparting a subtle tartness and a hint of funk that are hallmarks of this style. Expect a medley of earthy and spicy notes balanced by a gentle malt sweetness, creating a layered yet approachable profile. Ideal for those who appreciate the complexity of a Saison, Wild Moon is best served slightly chilled at 45-50°F to allow its nuanced flavors to fully develop. Pour it into a tulip glass, which is designed to capture and concentrate the aroma while showcasing the beer's natural effervescence. The gentle carbonation enhances the light, refreshing quality of the brew, making it a delightful companion for a variety of dishes. Pair Wild Moon with rustic fare to complement its farmhouse roots. It pairs seamlessly with charcuterie and artisanal cheeses, where the beer's acidity can cut through rich, creamy textures. For heartier options, try it alongside roasted chicken or grilled vegetables, as the ale's depth of flavor can stand up to savory, earthy elements. Wild Moon also lends itself well to seafood dishes, with its crisp finish accentuating the freshness of oysters or grilled fish. Whether you're exploring the diverse world of farmhouse ales or seeking a versatile beer to elevate your meal, Wild Moon offers a genuine taste of OXBOW's craft. Its balance of tradition and creativity invites you to savor each sip, discovering new layers with every pour.

Solid saison, leans on the funky side but not overpowering.

Grilled pizzas in the backyard with friends, Wild Moon went down so easy. Almost too easy for 7.5%. Would definitely grab it again for a chill night.
