Vault City have launched their most extreme range to date, featuring a vivid green ‘slime beer’, tongue-numbing citrus sours, and what they describe as their sharpest release.
The Marvellous Liquids series pushes flavour, texture, and sensation to the limit, with beers designed to be “slime-thick”, face-scrunchingly sour, and packed with weird and wonderful twists.
Standout releases include Splendiferous Slime (5% ABV), a bright green, thick-bodied sour with a deliberately slime-like texture, and Numbing Nectar (4.9% ABV), a Szechuan-inspired beer designed to create a tingling, mouth-numbing sensation.
The limited-edition range is inspired by nostalgic sweet-shop flavours and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and marks the latest evolution of one of Vault City’s most talked-about concepts.
These are also among the first releases from the brewery’s new large-scale site at BioCampus, in Edinburgh, giving the team greater capacity to experiment with small-batch, high-impact beers.
“We wanted to take everything people loved about Marvellous Liquids and turn it up,” said Vault City co-founder Steven Smith-Hay. “More texture, more intensity, and more of those unexpected sensory moments.
“This range is exactly what Vault City is all about. Pushing boundaries and having fun with flavour, whether that’s something slime-thick, face-scrunchingly sour, or completely unexpected on the palate.
“A lot of our beers are accessible, especially to those who aren’t typical beer drinkers. These flavours in particular could be the golden ticket for people who want to go all in on sour.”
