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.

12.7 oz bottle poured into shaker- poured 15% murky golden orange, medium carbonation, bubbles headed to form a white ring around the glass. Aroma of yeast and malt. Hits the mouth with a thin body, the carbonation is very thin and won’t cause a gag reflex, malt comes through cleanly, hops are enjoyed on the finish. Good example of the style.

375ml bottle. Pours a nice cloudy peachy orange with a large white head. Aroma: Citurs, lots of it, a tiny bit of malts and some skunk. Maybe some yeast. Taste: Very reflective of the aroma, but in a good way. Very big on the fruity esters, obviously from the yeast sediment. Some tangy citrus flavour all the way through, followed by a malty aftertaste. A touch of skunk for some reason, but I find this evident in all golden/blonde ales. I really like the sediment though. Yet it really isn’t very drinkable, which I find weird. Unlike anything I’ve had before, and I can’t figure out if that’s a good thing or not. It’s sort of a golden/blonde-Belgian wit hybrid. There’s this sort of unpleasant rubbery flavour and feel that comes with the skunky aspect that really prevents me from liking this one as much as I want to. Kind of a shame really, there’s some really nice aspects of this, but they’re fighting to be noticed over the bad aspects. They might not be winning.

Cloudy, golden bodied ale with even carbonation and grassy aroma. Reminded me of a Euro Lager export, that evolved on the slow boat to the States. Even though I live in Philadelphia, never been to Australia I celebrated Aussie Day while drinking a Coopers and listening to triple j’s Hottest 100. Good bless the internet.

Attractive orange colour with a some dense sediment and and a medium sustained head. Soft malty fruity aroma, nice but too understated. Very drinkible and refreshing, malty with some gentle hop balance and some banana notes giving way to an unusual elegent peachy finish. Nice beer, subtle and a little strange.

Sparkling ?? I found this Strong and it had a slight citrus aroma. The head was stiff and lingering. But it wasn’t a very pleasing ale.
