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. Poured a mostly clear dark brown colour with a mostly lasting frothy tan head. The aroma is roasty, chocolate. The flavour is over moderate sweet, with a light roasty, chocolate, fake saccharine sugar, light liquorice bitter palate. Over medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. Sweet and sugary. Not the worst beer in the world by far, but it quickly became a little sickly.
