Nov 11, 2003 The problem with this is that it is not the great bottle conditioned ale that some other stablemates are. Therefore the perception is that it just isn't a Coopers. Silly I know, but the problem here is that the beer falls down in the flavour and character stakes. The mention of POR as a positive always leaves me cold as this hop just doesn't do anything but provide some bitterness. Clearly thsi beer will put hair on your chest, as evidenced by the beard on the lable that looks like it extends to Tom's pubes.

Nov 8, 2003 Bottled, Sydney. The second beer I had after stepping off the plane (Tooheys Old, mothers milk, was first). Golden amber with a shinny white head. Soft malts, caramel and vanilla. Easy drinking but not memorable. Most Coopers beers distinguish and differentiate themselves, this doesn’t, quite.

Nov 2, 2003 Thought this was half decent but just didn't go anywhere. Golden colour with a large frothy and lasting head, floral aroma and light malty dusty taste.

Oct 26, 2003 Updated: Nov 14, 2003Re-rate: A lot different than i first remember it. Fairly one-dimensional, nice fruity flavour - some apricot. Much better than last time, its good that coopers can make some nice different beers. cheers

Oct 3, 2003 I was a little disappointed in this after the high standards of the other coopers beers. Not as much flavour probably due to the lack of sediment.

Sep 27, 2003 Nice gold colour with nice white head. Sweet hiney aroma, strong malty taste. Different style of all the Coopers range this is filtered and clear. very enjoyable beer.

Jul 1, 2003 Pours clear yellow with rather large foamy white head. Highly carbonated appearance, though only a slight "fsst" while opening the bottle. Head retention is *alright* not great though. Corn syrup / sugar aroma present, with a hint of POR hop aroma. Watery, though initally smooth?? mouthfeel, dry crisp lager-like finish. Initial sweet malty taste, well balanced with bitterness. Typical australian "premium" beer. Slight metallic aftertaste.

Feb 25, 2003 This is very disappointing for a Coopers considering their excellent Sparkling Ale. Granted it's refreshing with a pleasant, subtle malt and clean finish, but unfortunately there just isn't enough here to satisfy.
