Roses Farm Malic Malus

Low tannin, crisp sour, and refreshing. I recently became fond of sour beers and could not for the life of me find a sour cider. This is despite the Armagh Bramley apple having a famously high malic acid content. This cider is made from 100% Armagh Bramley apple picked on our farm. Its low tannin content produces a more refreshing, less domineering taste. Malic   Malus   is   made   sour   by   the   natural   high malic   acid   content   of   the   Armagh   Bramley (pgi)  apples   used   to   make   it.   Its   name   is   in reference   to   this   acid   and   the   latin   name   for for   the   apple   genera,   Malus .

The pink  vertical line intersected by 5 horizontal lines, is the ogham letter “ceirt” which means apple tree. ogham is an ancient Irish alphabet, often referred to as the tree alphabet. Oghams usage is as old as apples in armagh. The first record of an armagh apple dating back to 1000 BCE.
