Gower Zero

United Kingdom·Alcohol-Free IPA
Tap to rate

The low-alcohol beer in the Gower range, declared at no more than 0.5 percent. The brewery positions it as an IPA and builds it around a balance of citrus fruit and hop bitterness, with the aim of keeping the flavour of a full-strength version. Citrus sets the aroma and the bitter note carries the finish, the two elements the brewery names for this beer. It has been part of the line-up since 2022.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes—orange zest and grapefruit pith—characteristic of the hop-forward design. Behind the fruit sits a clean, understated malt base with minimal yeast character, allowing the Edelhopfen to dominate without obstruction.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and light, with citrus fruit layering across the palate before a measured bitterness builds through the mid-palate. The hop bitterness carries the beer forward without heaviness, finishing dry with lingering herbal and citrus notes that sustain the finish.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
