About This Beer
Vault City Jungle Juice Sour is a bold and juicy fruit sour beer brewed by Vault City. At 6% ABV, this 44cl can delivers bright tropical flavour, lively tartness, and the playful modern sour character that has made Vault City a favourite among craft beer fans. It is a strong choice for craft beer Ireland customers looking to buy craft beer online and explore something fruit-forward, refreshing, and full of personality.
Jungle Juice Sour is all about big fruit impact. Expect a vibrant mix of tropical fruit, citrus sharpness, tangy sweetness, and a clean sour finish. The beer has a colourful, cocktail-like feel, but the tart base keeps it firmly in the world of craft beer. It is juicy, bright, and expressive, with enough acidity to refresh the palate and enough body to feel satisfying.
At 6% ABV, it sits in a great middle ground: stronger and fuller than a light session sour, but still easy to enjoy when served well chilled. Fans of tart, juicy, and fruit-packed styles can discover more in our Sour & Lambic Beer range, where you will find modern fruit sours, refreshing sour beers, lambic styles, and mixed-fermentation releases.

About the Brewery
Vault City is a Scottish brewery best known for bold, modern sour beers with big fruit additions, bright acidity, and creative flavour combinations. Their beers often lean into playful, dessert-inspired, cocktail-inspired, and fruit-led profiles, while still keeping the structure and refreshment expected from well-made sour beer.
Jungle Juice Sour fits perfectly into that approach. It is not a restrained or subtle sour. It is designed to be expressive, juicy, and memorable, with a flavour profile that feels fun without losing balance. The fruit character gives the beer its punch, while the sour base adds lift and keeps the finish bright.
Vault City has built a strong following among drinkers who enjoy sour beer with real impact. Their beers are particularly popular with customers who want something different from standard lager beer, ipa beer, or stout beer styles. For anyone browsing our wider Craft Beer & Craft Cider range, Vault City is a great brewery to explore when you want big flavour and modern creativity.
Food Pairings
Vault City Jungle Juice Sour is a brilliant match for food with spice, fruit, salt, and freshness. Its juicy, tropical profile works especially well with spicy dishes such as Thai curry, Korean fried chicken, chilli chicken, jerk chicken, fish tacos, hot wings, and loaded nachos. The fruit character helps balance heat, while the sour finish keeps the palate refreshed.
It also pairs beautifully with seafood, especially prawns, crab, grilled white fish, calamari, and citrus-marinated dishes. The beer’s bright acidity and fruit notes add freshness without overpowering delicate flavours.
For cheese, try goat’s cheese, feta, mozzarella, or creamy soft cheeses. These allow the fruit and acidity to stay in focus while adding a gentle savoury balance. For dessert, Jungle Juice Sour is a natural fit with mango sorbet, pavlova, fruit salad, citrus tart, passionfruit cheesecake, or pineapple upside-down cake.
Serve well chilled and pour into a stemmed glass to make the most of the aroma, colour, and juicy sour character. It also works well as a lively alternative to a cocktail-style drink for parties, BBQs, and summer gatherings.
