Not the best of the coopers but still quite tasty. I think it has been more filtered or something, still a nice strong taste, goes down pretty smooth.

I was quite suprised when I found one of these. I had personally never heard of it until I found it in the liquor store. Reminded me of many European style lagers. Quite a good smooth flavour, but doesn't have the typical Coopers charm. Not bad by any means, but Coopers have many other fine beers to choose from.

Quite drinkable but not my premium beer of choice. It goes down nicely enough but I wouldn't buy a carton of this stuff.

Not much aroma,not much head,colour was pretty ordinary, is it called "premium" to help it sell? Anyhow it is not that "premium" but not that offensive.

Coopers should stick with their bottle conditioned ales and not try to pinch the 'premium' market, whatever that means. I find it somewhat strange that the description refers to unmalted grains as these are simply grains that haven't been able to convert their starch into sugars, thereby contributing nothing to the wort and perhaps only providing body. Notwithstanding this interesting adjunct it does still have a thinness of mouthfeel and is too much on the sweet side.

I heard that dubs! Mr Kelly likes this, but I think it's a bit of a lame response to Carlton Cold. Youths in Walgett buy this because they don't like the muck in the sparkling. I dunno. Whatever. Purple insanity of clowns and estimated smiles, my life is a piece of grass except for obvious divergences and peanut butter sunsets.

Pale amber clear with a large medium lasting creamy white head. Interesting herbal, friars balsam, camomile and floral hops aroma with slightly stronger caramel honey as it warms. Body is a touch too light with mild floral hoppy bitter flavoured start. Lighter sweeter corn malt middle and soft dry finish. Interesting but a bit too bland for my tastes.
