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!

500ml bottle. Golden amber colour, thin white head and aroma of malt, grain, spicey & juicy orange. Taste is pale malt, caramel with tangy citrus orange notes and a light hop bitterness. Slightly oily mouthfeel, light bodied, medium carbonation, biscuity dry light bitter finish. Quite OK.

Bottle from Sainsbury’s Murrayfield [061013]
Light orange amber, hazy, thin white head that dissipates to a rim
Aroma - very light citrus, some soft sour lemon, touch of sweet cereal malt
Taste of soft sweet cereal malts, hint of lemon citrus hops, some sour lemon, getting a dab of berry fruits which is a bit unusual
Palate - Very soft carb, medium body, bit oily. Slight sour, light sweet malt palate. Finish - getting some buttery biscuit malts, slightly dry finish
Overall - Not undrinkable, but nothing like the description....some faults in here - seems to be on the turn....just very average

I don't know why it's lost my rating for this one. I'll add another full review if / when I have it again

50cl bottle from the Sainsbury’s Beer Hunt 2013 range. Gold clear with lasting white head. It’s a golden ale. Hops are what? There, yes, soft, some citrus, touch of grapefruit and lime. You do have to dig a bit for them. The malts are pale but solid. Some dryness and bitterness on the finish. It’s subtle this beer. You really have to dig to get to the good bits. But as an overall beer, I really quite like it.

Bottle from Sainsburys. Golden. Thin, white head. Aroma is bready with light malt. There are hops in there, but the promised citrus flavour doesn’t really materialise. Slight metallic aftertaste. Not my cup of tea.

Cask, 1/3 pint at GBBF 2013. Jet black body. Tiny, beige head. Smoked malty nose with liquorice moments. Toffee malts and liquorice flavours alongside a note of chocolate. Dry malt bitter ending. Nice and easy drinking porter (London Olympia 13.08.2013).
