Description
Mixed fermentation brewery specialising in locally sourced, heavily fruited and hop-forward beers with a sense of place and seasonality.

Big flavours and bright colours, that’s what you can expect from Vault City Brewing. We’re the UK’s biggest sour beer producer and we’ve been making fruit-forward, modern sour beers in Edinburgh since 2018.

Our mixed fermentation style and distinctive house culture create the perfect base for real fruit ingredients, which gives our beer its intense aroma and flavour, not to mention the eye-catching colours.

440ml can from Benny’s place, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a murky dark brown colour with little life. The aroma is vanilla, red berry fruits. The flavour is over moderate sweet and tart sour, with a silky smooth, rich, cherry, blackberry, blueberry, raisin, cola, sugary sweet vanilla palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Nice in small quantities, but way too sweet to drink the whole can.
