Commercial Description:
Coopers DB has residual sugars eliminated by a double pitching of the yeast, resulting in a beer with a very dry, crisp and clean palate. It's actually a little lower in calories than other beers.

Clear filtered orange gold, with lots of bubbles flying to the top of the glass propping a rather lacklustre head. Aroma is all malt, although I somehow got some sweet berry fruits on tasting. The flavour is rather neutral, probably as intended, making it an easy quaffer but uninteresting. Average palate, with not a lot to argue with the mouth as it hasn’t got much of a body. As far as pale lagers go it’s in with the mix, but that’s nothing to be proud of.

Another example of "found this single bottle in the cooler" beers (always makes me a little wary). Anyway, turns out to be fairly unremarkable pale lager. It is quite dry, which I kind of liked.

Bottled. Pale golden. no head. Ricey sake aroma. Dry with loads of adjuncty rice flavour and some bread. Light bodied, but not thin. Low bitterness. Save for the bready malt flavour there is not much reason to chose this over, say, VB.

Pours a chill-filtered clear gold with a hello-goodbye 1cm head. Bit of pineapple in a generally fruity aroma. Oddly, this has less aroma than their light beer. Thin in the body and as dry as a bushfire in the finish. Lots of fruit upfront but little in the way of a finish. Heavily carbonated. Better than I expected but I can’t think of a reason to choose this over the Sparkling Ale or Pale Ale.

Wow, no head. Highly effervescent. Hint of flat cardboardy malt. Quite a strong honey in the intial flavour. Boring palate with some carbonic acid finish. meh.

Yellow colouring with a small disappearing head. Very dry, bland and lacks a bite, but has a hint of sweetness and is clean and crisp. I’ll pass on this one in the future though.

Toasty with some other aroma I can’t quite describe, maybe raw green beans. There’s actually a bit of malt in there but there’s quite a significant astringency in the finish. I was never going to love this beer but it ain’t terrible.

Harsh yeast aroma?, orange colour with a compact lasting head. Not much taste, dry but hardly any other flavours maybe some ginger.
