Roxmut

Clear amber colour.

Touch of boiled ham on the nose initially, apple, acetic, volatile, fruity, floral, herby and with a light citrus note. My initial thought was that this was a vermouth made with an element of oxidised ale, but a colleague quickly identified it as cider based.

In the mouth it has a strong bitter note, with fresh, sweet balsamic notes and a medicinal note.

This is a bold experiment which works though it won't be to all tastes! Different, difficult (?) certainly challenging.
