Vault City Brewing

This celebratory Wild Specialty Beer presents a striking electric blue hue, immediately signaling its nostalgic sweetshop inspiration. Collaborative expertise results in a multi-layered sensory experience where vibrant notes of jammy raspberry and succulent blueberry collide with the playful, confectionary essence of bubblegum and zingy lemon sherbet. The aroma is a sweet-sour punch of candy-store aromatics, while the palate balances a crisp, lactic acidity against a subtle underlying fruit sweetness. Effervescent and refreshing, it finishes with a lingering tartness and a nostalgic candy-coated aftertaste, perfectly capturing the whimsical intent and modern sour profile of this anniversary brew.

Appearance. Distinctive electric blue color; hazy to opaque. The head is moderate with poor to fair retention, showing a pale blue or cyan tint and light lacing.

Aroma. High intensity aromatics of candied raspberry and blueberry dominate, intertwined with unmistakable artificial bubblegum and citrusy sherbet. A clean, sharp lactic sourness provides a bright, acidic backdrop, with no detectable hop or malt character.

Taste. The initial impression is a zingy, sherbet-like tartness followed quickly by jammy berry flavors. Bubblegum provides a perceived sweetness that balances the moderate-high lactic acidity. The finish is crisp and dry-leaning despite the candy-like flavors, featuring a lingering tart berry and confectionary aftertaste. Hop bitterness is negligible.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a prickly, high carbonation that enhances the sherbet sensation. Very low alcohol warmth. No significant astringency; smooth but sharp and highly acidic.
