About This Beer
Vault City Peach Lemongrass Limonata Sour is a modern craft beer that captures the lighter, more refreshing side of the sour beer category. Brewed in Edinburgh by Vault City Brewing, this 4.3% sour beer combines bright citrus notes with juicy peach and a delicate herbal twist from lemongrass. It is exactly the kind of craft beer Ireland drinkers are increasingly choosing when they want something crisp, flavourful, and easy to enjoy across any occasion.
The flavour profile is built around a limonata-style citrus base, delivering a clean and zesty sharpness that immediately refreshes the palate. This is softened by ripe peach sweetness, which adds body and balance without making the beer heavy. The lemongrass brings a subtle aromatic lift, adding complexity while keeping the overall profile light and drinkable. The result is a beer that feels fresh, modern, and highly sessionable.
If you enjoy beers in this style, you can explore more options within our Sour & Lambic Beer selection, where both traditional and contemporary sour beers are available.
