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.

375ml bottle from Chez Sophie. Pours unclear gold, foamy white head. Aroma is zesty orange sherbet. Taste is similarly zesty, tangy, orange dibdabs, passionfruit, a touch spiky, not crazily sour, fairly sugary. Drinks well for the strength. Perhaps a little too tangy at times.

Bottle. Beer Central, Sheffield. Fully hazy, dirty gold. Thick off white head settles to a thin, lacing foam. Nose has acid drop sweets. Lemon sherbet. Some pineapple. Some mango. A yoghurt thing runs throughout. Taste is juicy, tart, and lightly puckering. Juicy acidity on the palate. A little drying. Fine, crisp carbonation. More of the tart and juice to finish. Could have managed more hop character for me, but it’s a tasty beer regardless.
