| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Mar 22, 2007 750ml bottle best after 18/05/06. Hard to tell with this date if it was off, on or somewhere inbetween? Mid golden with a heavy sediment in bottle. Reasonable head. Poured with sediment which suspends in the glass. Bitter, hoppy. Nice & simple yet coupld equally be complex. sarfarl (10), Canberra, Australia
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 2/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Mar 22, 2007 Love this beer, but I can see why plenty of folks aren’t too keen on it. I guess it grows on you, just push through the pain barrier and your set! wilderthanyou (423), Guelph, Ontario, Canada
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Mar 20, 2007 Poors a solid golden colour, left to sit, and then poored carefully you don’t have to deal with too much sediment, very short lived head which leaves behind nothing but a ring of fizz. Aroma of sunflower seeds and honey. Interesting how nobody agrees on the colour or aroma of this beer. The flavor is good solid malt and hops, pretty straight forward but in a good way. The texture is a bit thin, but the carbonation is nice and strong, tingely on the tongue, but not in a bad way, slightly dry, bitter finish. I enjoyed this beer and look forward to trying others from Coopers Brewery. robinvboyer (1444), Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, Canada
| 1.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 1/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Mar 19, 2007 wasnt very impressed with this. i know this is bottle fermented, but i had big CHUNKS in the beer. maybe it went bad? there was next to no aroma. Flavour was very very bitter, but not a good bitter, tasted really bad. destroye7 (304), Melbourne, Australia
| 1.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 2/20 | Mar 17, 2007 Bottle. Orange and cloudy. Some particules in suspension. Very bitter and dry. Somehow, disappointed... trokini (1027), San Diego, California, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 12, 2007 Bronze pour with a small white head. Wood, dirt, straw and malt make up the nose. Taste is sharp and tangy, with some earthiness that seems to be the hallmark of every Cooper’s beer. Overall, a decent beer. beergut111 (210), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 10, 2007 Poured a hazy golden color , lots of yeast in the bottle. Starts sweet with a dry hoppy finish. Not bad, but a bit boring. larsga (3000), Oslo, Norway
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 8, 2007 Biggish coarseish offwhite head. Orange body with yeast floaties. Faintly spicy malt aroma. Taste is bitterish malts with notes of straw and wood with a touch of spice. Dry wooden aftertaste. Has a tart, medicinal quality to it. Very unusual taste, but would probably grow on me if I could find this again. Wouldn’t surprise me if the recipe and brewing methods are quite old. Quite good. (0.375l bottle. Best before of april 2008.)
