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.

Cloudy (more or less depending on how much sediment you pour into the glass) golden-orange color with small ring of head. Sweet malty and estery scents. Some banana, marshmallow, slight caramel, bit of apple, maybe cherry. Not too much in the taste department, comes of pretty light and a tad watery. Bit of citrus and spice stand out from a lightly diacetyl malt background. Lively, crisp feel, despite the name, the carbonation could be more aggressive, but still pretty strong. Almost like a mini/watery Duvel.

Possibly the best Australian-brewed beer available. Dark gold in colour, with a reasonable head. Typical top-fermenter characteristics - full-flavoured with a long attractive finish. An extremely high-quality beer.

ssa Golden/Blonde Ale australiana é a mais saborosa e com mais personalidade representante da linha Coopers (das 3 que já encontrei à venda no Brasil), em minha opinião. Seu aroma é moderadamente lupulado, com notas cítricas de limão (6/10). Dispõe de belíssima aparência, composta de pequena aparência inicial da espuma (virtualmente nenhuma), esta de coloração branca. Virtualmente nenhuma é também o adjetivo que se aplica à formação de colarinho; a longevidade da espuma, consequentemente, é bem reduzida. O corpo, denso e de coloração âmbar-claro, apresenta grande quantidade de detritos vísiveis através do copo (de tamanho considerável), como nas mais tradicionais cervejas de trigo não-filtradas (4/5). No universo do sabor, também não deixa a desejar. Seu início é levemente amargo com gosto de giz (nuance esta que está no ponto), sensação atinge teor moderado no final, de duração média (7/10). O paladar é composto de corpo médio, textura seca, carbonatação borbulhante e final levemente adstringente e moderadamente alcoólico - um certo aquecimento alcoólico também está presente em alguns momentos do gole.

12 oz. bottle. Thin head, murky pale yellow color, slight hop nose, fairly reasonable tongue feel, not much flavor with a slight bitter finish. I have tried it for the last time.

Bouteille de 375 ml. La bière est de couleur jaune foncée très voilée avec une mousse blanche modeste qui tient bon. Au nez on découvre des arômes de grain, de grain caramélisé, d’alcool, d’ananas, de levure et de banane. En bouche on rencontre un corps mince avec une effervescence moyenne-élevée. On goute des saveurs de grains caramélisés, de céréales, d’alcool et de houblons un peu amère. Merci Rémy

Pours hazy yellow with light head. Nose is slightly fruit/sweet. Taste is very light but avoids the hops with a rise of mid taste fruit. lots of carbonation.
