Blueberry Maple is a vegan friendly, modern sour beer that’s sweet and tannic with a silky-smooth mouthfeel. Add lashings of fresh and vibrant Scottish blueberries cut through decadent layers of maple for a sour that’s stacked with flavour.

The sweetness from rich, locally sourced blueberries is perfectly balanced with the tartness of our base beer and rounded off with a sweet maple finish to create something that’s delightfully moreish.

440ml Can from Tescos, Amersham, Bucks. A hazy pink/orange coloured pour with a medium off white/pink head on top. Tart blueberry, maple syrup aroma. Tastes bluberry, maple syrup, not so sour but maybe a bit too sweet for me. Still very enjoyable.

440ml can from Tesco. Deep hazed purple, pinkish head. Vibrant aroma of luscious blueberry and maple syrup, continuing to taste, strong maple syrup sweetness melding well with a big blueberry fruitiness. Not convinced the combination works, but it's executed well.

440ml can. Hazy deep purple with a pink-tinted white head. Aroma of maple syrup, blueberries. Taste is very heavy on the maple, not so much on the blueberries but they're there, quite sweet. Medium bodied. The flavours work but are unbalanced, which is rare for Vault City.

Hazy, red-amber beer with a thick foamy head. Smells like a blueberry muffin. Flavour has a good hit of tart blueberry up front, really quite sharp. After that there's a flavour like blueberry and syrup pancakes, a little citrus zest and the blueberry mellows a little into quite a sweet, cakey finish. Really nice stuff.

Panda at home, thanks to Fergus, 10/04/22. Watermelon pinkish/red with a faded light crimson cap. Nose is sweet malts, maple syrup, blueberry jam, fruit syrups. Taste comprises sweet malts, jammy berries, maple syrup, sugars, blueberry compote. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light tarte edge. It's ok ... bit overly sweet for a sour .. fun enough stuff though.

Can from Tesco Danestone. It pours cloudy purple with a decent fluffy white head. The aroma is sweet - sour, heady aroma of maple, natural yoghurt, fresh blueberry, toasted oats, cranachan and maple glazed donut. The taste is fairly crisp initially and dry, then it's gets creamy with plenty of natural yoghurt, sweet - sour, toasted oats, granola, tangy blueberry, sour, puckering, blackberry, granny smith and smooth mellow maple with a tangy finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Works well as a breakfast beverage for sure. Fun.
