Nov 26, 2006 Bottle: slightly cloudy yellow-gold colour with a short-lived white head an heavy carbonation; yeasty smell and taste with a hint of apple, prickly in the mouth with some lingering bitterness. Much better than the typical Australian lagers available in the UK.

Nov 25, 2006 In the bottle at Jackson’s on George. Oh to have a Coopers in Oz! Well, at least I thought it might be one of those things like Guiness where it would be life-changing in its country of origin. Not so much. It tastes pretty much the same as it does in the midwest. Not a bad beer, just not definitive.

Nov 21, 2006 Pours a cloudy dark yellow. Generous, but quick to dissolve white head. Medium bodied with a spicy, yeastly flavour. Australia can brew a fine ale, no doubt about it.

Nov 17, 2006 Bottle. Hazy golden colour with a white head. Aroma of fruit and yeast. Flavour of malt and yeast.

Nov 12, 2006 Quickly dissipating head with a body full of yeasty speckles. Smelled and tasted extremely yeasty with some wheat flavor. Finish is somewhat bitter. Nice brew overall, but nothing special.

Nov 9, 2006 A real quencher. Exploding with yeasty goodness, not terribly unlike a hefe, but not as spicy or fruity. I found its dry effervescence wonderful after a chicken dinner. Interesting and unique.

Nov 6, 2006 This had a fast,growing head,which dissipated somewhat quickly.Not much aroma.Color was a cloudy yellow gold.First taste I felt this was just a little bit better than Coors or Budweiser,however after a few more tastes I felt it had some interesting soft flavors.The body is a medium light bodied beer.Has a hint of that crappy golden beer taste,but a stickyness to the palette.I taste a bit of grapefruit,maybe a little apple.Overall,I felt I paid too much for it.I can get a six pack of a good Sierra Nevada Celebration ale for less.Or my favorite,w-06 if it wasn’t out of season.I will pass on this in the future,but if I was at a party and this was offered along with the typical Coors or other mass produced common beer,I would choose this.

Nov 3, 2006 Bottle. Tough one to rate, as my experience has always been fairly variable with this one... quite dependent on mood i think. This time I found that the benefits of a relatively tasty and full bodied fizzy apple juice were spoiled somewhat by a distinctly crappy finish.
