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.

33cl can from Abeervinum, Rimini, Italy. Pours orange gold, partially hazy, with almost no foam. Aroma is markedly fruity, peach, tropical. Body is average, with moderate carbonation. Taste is a mix of quite some sweetness and a little acidity. Final is pretty dry.

Can that Em gave me - cheers! A hazy orange beer with a cream coloured head. Lightly tart, with a flavour of orange lollipops and vanilla mini milk ice creams. Gets a little too sweet as it warms. It's not a beer, but I actually thought it was was very enjoyable and the flavours worked well - as long as it was cold!
