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.

Cloudy red/orange pour with a stable white head. Aromas is strawberries, chocolate/cocoa, a hint of raspberry vinegar. Taste is strawberry, milk/cream, hints of cocoa and vinegar. Nice, but not exactly what it says on the tin.

Aus der Dose im 2025-09 getrunken. Bei diese hell orangenen Ale zeigt sich das Ananas Aroma deutlicher als die Citrus Aromen. Die Assoziation an Ice Cream kommt aber auch mit der gelungen leichten Vanille-Note nicht auf. Es bleibt ein süffiges Frucht-Ale.

Aus der Dose im 2025-09 getrunken. Dieses trübe, pinke Ale kommt mit Aromen von roten Beeren und etwas Vanille daher. Eine leichte Säure und auch ein eher leichter Körper machen diese fruchtige Ale recht süffig.

440ml can from Sainsbury's. Pours opaque, super cloudy murk, thick off-white head. Oof that's thick and pulpy.. a little too much.. tangy close. Not much juicy about it - seems to be mostly all the leftover matter after the juice has been squeezed out. A full can is a bit much in one go, had to pour some down the sink.
