About This Beer
Vault City Yuzu Peach Passionfruit Sour is a modern craft beer that showcases the vibrant, fruit-driven side of the sour beer category. Brewed in Edinburgh by Vault City Brewing, this 4.9% sour beer combines sharp citrus, juicy stone fruit, and tropical sweetness to create a refreshing and balanced drinking experience. It is exactly the kind of craft beer Ireland drinkers are increasingly choosing when they want something bright, flavourful, and easy to enjoy.
The flavour profile is led by yuzu, a citrus fruit known for its intense, zesty character. This brings a sharp, refreshing acidity that immediately lifts the beer. The peach adds a soft, rounded sweetness, while passionfruit introduces a juicy, tropical layer that ties everything together. The result is a beer that feels lively and refreshing, with enough complexity to keep each sip interesting.
