Vault City Brewing

This Wild Specialty Beer captures the nostalgic essence of a raspberry cream soda through a vibrant interplay of fruit and fermentation. The sensory experience is led by a punch of jammy, sun-ripened raspberries, supported by a smooth, velvety sweetness reminiscent of vanilla and soft-drink syrup. A sharp, tangy acidity from the house culture cuts through the sugary profile, providing a refreshing counterpoint. While the raspberries provide a bold, tart foundation, the cream soda influence softens the edges, resulting in a lush, dessert-like character that remains bright and effervescent. It is a harmonious blend of modern fruited sour techniques and classic soda-shop flavors.

Appearance. Vibrant, deep ruby-pink with a consistent haze; pours with a frothy, pale pink head that shows moderate to poor retention, leaving light lacing.

Aroma. High intensity; dominant fresh raspberry jam and coulis notes layered over a creamy vanilla sweetness. A clean lactic tartness provides a sharp backdrop, with minimal hop or malt presence.

Taste. Initial impression is a sharp, tangy raspberry burst followed quickly by a smooth, cream-soda sweetness. The lactic acidity is prominent but balanced by the perceived fruit sugars. The finish is long and juicy with a lingering raspberry tartness and a hint of vanilla; virtually no hop bitterness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a slightly creamy texture that belies its low alcohol content. Carbonation is high and spritzy, adding a refreshing lift to the sweet-tart profile. No alcohol warmth.
