COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Coopers Heritage Premium Ale is a chill-filtered clear beer. Brewed using an unusual blend of malt and unmalted grains, this beer has been created with a full-bodied palate, a golden colour and a good creamy head. The subtle malt character is balanced with a moderate level of bitterness and by late hopping in the brew kettle that adds a pleasing hop aroma. An ale yeast has been specifically selected for its desired floral and fruity characters of top fermentation, which complement this complex and well-balanced palate.

ALLOVATE (1535) - Butler, WA, AUSTRALIA - DEC 4, 2004
UPDATED: JUL 8, 2005 Tasted from the bottle into a stein glass. Poured a hazy pale gold, with a short lived lather of white foam. Aroma of green apples and grass, with a little of Cooper’s famous yeast notes and a hinkering of malt as it warmed. Flavour was like gripping chalk between your teeth, Little malt character and low hop tones made for a rather surprising turn for Cooper’s. This questionable beer, with its soapy undertones, has marred the proud ales of this brewery for me. There is little ’heritage’ at all in this one.

IJT (40) - Carterton, ENGLAND - NOV 14, 2004
The new release from the cooper’s brewery is a filtered, golden coloured, ale. The brew is easy to drink and generally soft and smooth. The beer has nowhere near the complexity of the bottle conditioned ales, yet is still drinkable.

Stew41 (1413) - Woodend, AUSTRALIA - SEP 27, 2004
Nice light brown tan in the glass. Faint nose. Fairly commercial palate, refreshing, has zing. some sweetness from the malt. Very clean, a fraction boring but is refreshing.

WYSIWYG (20) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - JUL 24, 2004
Smell is not unpleasant. Some head, but not much. Taste is too bitter to be really enjoyable. Mouthfeel is ok. Aftertaste isn’t as bad as some.

dreamboat (186) - Brisbane, AUSTRALIA - JUL 11, 2004
Slightly cloudy, dark gold, with low carbonation and little to no head. Very fruity, sweet apple aroma. Somewhat typical coopers fruity flavour, but with a nice mellow hop finish and a hint of alcohol.

Nemo (100) - Fremantle, AUSTRALIA - JUN 25, 2004
Gold clear colouring with a medium sized, shortish lasting head. Hint of malty/cookie aroma. Weak, watery and mildly bitter. Average.

Spiesy (2336) - Sydney, Greater London, AUSTRALIA - APR 20, 2004
Bottled, in sunny Sydney. Bright golden body with a white shiny head serviced efficiently from below. Grain’y, adjunct aroma, similar to the Eastern European beers of Poland and Slovakia. Malty flavour with plenty of unsubtle alcohol up front. Warming with a sweet palate the beer does not leave you with a sense of value or exclusiveness that perhaps the marketing hype might want you to.

Not what I expected. Sadly the bloke that suggested this one is the same that gave me the Extra Strong Vintage Ale. Apparently heritage isn't quite the same as a vintage.
