Commercial Description:
Coopers Sparkling Ale is brewed naturally by the centuries-old top fermentation method just as it was in the beginning by Thomas Cooper. This beer displays a solid head and a distinctive, full-bodied flavour enhanced by a soft, fruity character and the sediment which gives it a cloudy appearance.

Bottle conditioned...hmmm. Pours a moderately cloudy golden with a fizzy white head. The aroma is grassy, cardboard, sweet, wet hay. The flavor is a tad bitter, sweet, grassy. After a while the alcohol and body shows, once I broke it down it wasn’t so bad. A decent bitterness to it, not too bad.

Pours a cloudy golden color with thin head and lots of carbonation. Since it’s unfiltered, it has a cool look to it. The aroma is apples, dough, yeast, spice. It tastes fruity, crisp and dry. Mouth feel is maybe a little thin, but very bubbly. Pretty complex, the more I had the more I liked the beer.

Draught at Story Bridge Hotel, Brisbane. Pours cloudy orange with a medium white head.. Aroma and flavour of malt and citrus. Good carbonation with a malty, dry and crispy finish. Good beer.

Bottle and tap, both with the trademark Coopers cloudiness (wish more beers weren’t so scared of being served the way God intended, with the yeast). Highly carbed, with a dry, malty taste, with a candy sweetness. Very complex, especially from older, cellared bottles.

Bottle at the White Horse with tashi and renffisch, 23rd March 2008. I know it’s deliberately served cloudy, but it really doesn’t look nice. Fruity & hoppy aroma and taste, complemented well by a sparkling, lively palate (hence the name I guess). Decent, but I don’t get why some people consider this a world-class beer.

Melbourne, Australia Bottled and on tap A beer in its own category Full-bodied malt profile and with an yeast estery character - draws lines to belgian brews including the high carbonation

...draft and bottle. Pours a cloudy golden, highly carbonated, especially on draft. Has a decent off white head that is mostly lasting. Good fruity hop notes, with some yeast hints, decently flavorful from the bottle conditioning. Not as good as the Pale ale, but still not too bad when there’s nothing else good on draft. Finishes yeasty

Pours a curious goledn slightly pale, slightly clear, color, with suspended bubbles. Very intersting. Usually, beer bubble rise to the top, but these are filling the glass and satay put, a unique phenomenom. Lots of funnt littke brown flecks floating around in the glass. I’m almost arfraid to drink it, something looks wildly wromg. Tastes like good malt, slightly fizzy and good. The appearance is still slightly disturbing. Looks like effluent. I would buy again exept for the appearance.
