Coopers Original Pale Ale

Brewed by Coopers Brewery
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Regency Park, South Australia, Australia

Bottle at Sunday Times Wine Festival, London. Hazy pale gold, thin white head. Really nice Tasmanian hop aroma, bit thin mouth with some malt. Finish is a bit disppointing.

Dulled golden honey pour that wears a quickly fading white ring. Sulfuric and rather yeasty nose is shy with flavours, though an honest wall of citric hops offer soft limey flavours. Growing peppery from all that yeast in mouth, finishing bready and cloudy. Light-medium bodied, watery in texture and shy in carbonation.

A fully diminishing thin fizzy white head tops up a murky medium yellow body. No lacing. Many average size particles. No bubbles. Bottle conditioned. Aroma presents malt being biscuity/cookie/grain.. while hops are barely noticeable ... Yeast character is moderate green apples. Also, there are excessive notes of sulphue and burnt plastic (!!) Initial flavor is moderate yeasty while development is moderate acidic. Finish is medium chalky. Light to medium body... watery texture... Flat carbonation...
[Bottled ; best AFTER 14.05.05 (?)]

Any first impressions?
-Barely a ring of head circles the shaded yellow.
-Some sulfury yeast notes protrude through the grainy malt and grassy hops.
-Weak citrusy fruitiness complacently discusses with the simple cereal maltiness, nagged by the prevalent yeastiness.
-Body feels smooth, but overly yeasty; some filtering would’ve been nice.

What if you dig deeper?
-Mouthfeel quickly becomes boring, lifeless.
-Finish is quite watery, without much flavor to make you want to dive back in.
-Severely underhopped and undermalted, a shame really.
-Way too tame for anyone looking for a litttle tastebud excitement.

Bottle; best after(?!?) 14/05/05.

Bottle. Aroma has a week stale lemon sourness. Hazy Yellow body with white head that disipates fairly quick. Lots of floaters, should of shook the bottle like discription says. Flavor has a sour bitter lemon that is not the best but tolerable. Bitterness is not overwelming on palate and rather moerate. Alright but only need to try this one once.

Nice white head on unclear golden body; Almost non existing nose of bitter malt; Very thin, watery body; Bitter, malty, boring finish. What a waste of water, hop, malt and my time!

cloudy golden with quickly dissipating white head. More like a lager than a pale ale, but very tasty. Sweet but not in an overpowering way. Nicely carbonated and quite easy to drink! I’d reccommend it to all my friends and loved ones! I also really like the green logo with the jumping kangeroo! Rock on coopers brewery.

From a distinctive 12.7 oz. stubby Coopers twist cap shaped brown bottle with a "Best Before" date on shoulder of bottle, 31/05/07. Made a good appearance, poured a cloudy pale golden with a foamy white head that leaves a minimal amount of sticking lacing. Had a nice, but faint aroma, lemony, nutty and a bready maltiness. Medium carbonation and a smooth medium bodied mouth feel, good drinkability. Good tasting, lemony with a soft hop bitterness, nutty, a slight grainy sweet maltiness and a smooth, crisp herbal finish.
