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.

Can given as a gift. Nose is pot purrie, candle, air freshener, some crumble. Taste is light sour, some fruit, then car air freshener.

Without any doubt this is the worst beer I've ever drunk that wasn't off. Offensively despicable, I managed a two sips and a full can down the sink. Vault city generally make over flavoured unbalanced beers, but this is abominable.

Can at home picked up from a supermarche. A clouded golden orange coloured pour with a lasting creamy white head. Aroma is semi sweet, vanilla, creamy oats, apple custard, pear canned fruit, tangy apple crumble. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, vanilla, wheat grains, apple crumble and custard, tangy pear, Creamy grains. Palate is rounded, creamy, semi sweet and tangy, fine carbonation. Not terrible, but a bit tough to get through the whole can.
