Jan 19, 2005 Pale yellow colour with slim, soon gone head. Aroma is light hops and malts. Taste is sort of dull, as in not sharp and not particularly interesting. Little aftertaste, watery mouthfeel. Disappointing.

Jan 17, 2005 Bottled. A yellow/gold coloured beer with a typical light soapy BC aroma. The taste is clean but dull, very reminiscent of an English bog standard golden Summer Ale. Disappointing.

Jan 15, 2005 Bottle. Refreshin acidic aroma. Cloudy, looks like hefe-weizen. Also citrusy like hefe, but not fruity. Not very interesting.

Jan 11, 2005 Updated: Jun 16, 2006I had only encountered Coopers through their Vintage Ale before, and as I had liked that one considerably I decided to check out some of their other beers. I was pleased to see that this was a bottle conditioned beer. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a cloudy amber color with only a minimal sized white head. The aroma was light malt and light hops. The flavor was light malt, a hint of nut and a fairly light nondescript hop presence. I found this one to be noticeably underwhelming.

Jan 8, 2005 Tastes like beer, but that’s about all that I can say. Nothing of note other than a cloudy appearance.

Jan 6, 2005 This beer is the lighter brother to Coopers Sparkling Ale. It has a mild hop / yeast aroma, has a cloudy amber appearance with yeast sediment and a light hop flavour. It is not easy to rate your usual local summer drop. There was a time in Australia when this beer almost stood alone in a vast sea of boring, weak Aussie lagers. Times have changed thankfully and Aussie beer tastes are changing also. I was surprised to see so many very low ratings for this beer but I think culture and climate account for much of it. I love a Chimay or a Duvel, but after 7 consecutive days over 37° C give me a cool refreshing Coopers! It could also be I can’t afford to live solely on imported Belgian beer

Jan 3, 2005 Hazy, light yellow hue. This is an ale? Almost tastes like a bottom-fermented macro lager. Overall it’s’ not too bad, kind of a weird tangy flavor on the finish. Subtle hop bitterness and citrus flavor, subtle being the key word. Drinkable for sure, but that is the best compliment I can give it. The labeling is a tease because it built my expectations higher than what I got out of it.

Jan 2, 2005 Very cloudy large bits of sediment. Aroma almost nonexistent. Head and lacing at a minimum. No hops that I could smell disappointing beer.
