Description
Inspired by the love of great beer and the lack of a brewery on the Gower Peninsula - the UK's first area of outstanding natural beauty - the Gower Brewery was born. Established in 2011, we are one of the fastest growing breweries in Wales. Armed with the best ingredients we can find, we pack our ales full of flavour and natural goodness and ultimately brew beers that we want to drink!

Cask at Archibald Simpsons, Aberdeen. It pours clear deep blonde with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is sweet and malty - driven, generic fruitiness, toasty grains , cereal, biscuit, earth and fruit cake. The taste is heavy sweet upfront, punchy, some dryness, bitterness, toasty grains, actually feels boozey for only 5.5%, biscuit, ryvita, rawness and old rope with a drying, almost oniony finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy cask carbonation. Rough around the edges and sita quite heavy for the abv. Lovely condition, so that can't be responsible. I reckon a full pint would be a challenge.
