Oxen are typically used for the heavier work on the farm as one of the stronger types of cattle; we imagine after a touch day out in the fields, out Oxbow Oxen would want to settle into the rivers bend with a nice hop forward beer like this one. Our Oxbow India Style Pale Ale is medium bodied and aggressively hopped with a technique called “whirlpool” hopping which adds a nice delicate citrusy aroma and flavor. We also use a combination of Citra and Ekuanot hops in our dry hopping for that tropical fruit bouquet and to get a well-balanced, very drinkable American IPA.
