Commercial Description:
Bottle & keg; Unfiltered.
Ingredients: Water, Barley, Hops, Yeast.
"With its fruity character, and robust flavour, Coopers Pale Ale is perfect for every occasion. Naturally fermented in the 'Burton-on-Trent' style, a secondary fermentation creates the trademark sediment that gives 'Pale' its fine cloudy appearance. This cloudy residue can be stirred through the beer by tipping or rolling the bottle before drinking."

(Bottled) Opaque, darkish peachy-orange color with an instantly fading, lemonadey head, body full of yeast particles and almost no lace left behind. Sourish and dry-fruity, lemony-hoppy, slightly stuffy aroma with some acidic apple fruitiness revealed after a while. Dryish, slightly sour and acidic, neutral, softly aromatic-hoppy, earthy and fruity flavor. Light to medium-bodied, dryish and mildly acidic, somewhat thin palate with smooth carbonation. Quite earthy, balanced and unsurprising countryside brew. Not exactly pretty to look at.

Not bad, not good. Better than swill and thats about it. Maybe mine was old. Test theory later, maybe.

Yuck. I like pale ales, I like blond ales, and I even like unfiltered/bottle conditioned ales (i.e. AleSmith Extra Pale). This beer tastes like none of the above. Its almost as if it was pre-skunked. Dry with a sour aftertaste. Keep this down-under, mate.

Pours a cloudy pale yellow with all sorts of shit floating through it and a very very small amount of white head. Aroma is hay and yeasty puffed up dough (i worked in a pizza shop for 5 years and this is definitely what it smells like). Dry and flat with mostly watery taste. Overall, not much different than a dasani with lemon.

It seems that the sweetheart beer for this brewery is the sparkling ale, but I liked this one better. The label describes it as being "lighter in feel", but I don’t agree. I can’t put my finger on it, but I think it just comes across as better balanced to me.

Bottled. Hazy orange colour, not much head. Sweet malty aroma with some caramellish hints. Hoppy and malty flavour with some bready hints. Bitter finish and aftertaste. A bit dry finish.

A fizzy white head and a hazy straw beer isn’t a pretty one that’s for sure. Nose is yeasty hay. Taste is similar. Not bitter, not sweet. Nice and malty, Clean up front but lingers rather sadly as old hay. I like the yeastiness, but not much else. Extra credit for being a classic brewery and brew.

Bottled. Hazy straw colour. Grassy with bready malt aroma. Dryish with typical Copper’s yeast character and crystal malt flavour. Well balanced with medium bitterness. Copper’s house flavour really makes their beer unique. I like that!
