Vault City – Peach Ice Tea, Sour Table Beer (3.4% ABV)

Welcome back to the Eternal Hoptimists!

The weather over the past week has been sub tropical, and so Michaela has been taking advantage of it and has been on a bit of a beery binge, not only did she do several reviews at the Saltaire brewery beer festival, but she’s been popping the sours too.

Today she is taking a look at one of Vault City’s tipples, this one is a little unusual though as its not a straight modern sour, its a sour table beer!

  1. Name: Peach Ice Tea, Table Beer
  2. Brewery: Vault City Brewery, Scotland
  3. Hops: N/A
  4. Grain: Barley, Wheat, Oat
  5. Aroma :  A mighty hit of the sweet scent of peaches with a slight sourness at the back.
  6. Appearance :  Opaque dark peachy/ cloudy amber with a tight white head when poured
  7. Body :  Medium bodied, well carbonated, very good head retention.
  8. Taste: Strong sour punch, with a nice after taste of peach that makes the mouth water.

This one was a little too sour for me, it wasn’t quite the sweet sensation i was expecting from a peach ice tea, but it was a good level of flavour for the ABV, and was far from unpleasant.

Our overall rating: 3.5/ 5.0
