Nice clear gold colour, good head retention, BIG dark chunks of yeast. Banana and spaghetti aroma - typical Coopers really. Quite thin and watery, yeastiness is the main flavour (not in a bad way). Pretty light on for character, but I guess that’s what they were going for unfortunately.

Disappointing watered down version of sparkling ale. This beer is low on taste. I’d have it again if I were driving or if I wanted a quiet night, but that’s about it.

Sweet malt hop aroma. Murky yellow colour with poor head and lacing. Sweet malt hop flavour. Flat palate.

25 Apr 2006 - Light sweet fruit hop aroma. Cloudy yellow-orange colour, poor head and lacing. watery hoppy light malt flavour. Thin and light hop finish.

Bottle: Poured cloudy bonze-amber with a small and very short head. Not much aroma or taste but what there was was exactly like Asprin with a hint of malt which I found somewhat bizarre. The carbonation was a low point - lots of very big bubbles that took away from what little flavour there was. Saying all that, it was still a reasonable beer, just boring as hell.

Not much of anything going on here. A quick whiff of malt in the aroma. Another one with poor head retention. Flavor is generally beer-like, but its such a mish-mosh of very delicate malt, hop and yeast derived flavors that the "triple hopping" is lost in the shuffle. Carbonation in Cooper’s seems somewhat inconsistent, must be a function of the bottle conditioning. Thin body.

375 ml bottle. Golden coloured beer. Very weak aroma, pale malt, some caramel, no hops. Flavour and body are very thin. Pretty poor.

Reading mild ale, I didn’t think it necessarily meant low alcohol. Cloudy orange amber with a piss-poor head that disappeared faster than you can say "damn, it’s only 3.5%abv". The weak aroma contained some citrus, mango and a bit of caramel malt. The flavour is quite bland, with not much to distinguish it from water. Palate is virtually non-existant. Really, what the hell is the point of a mild ale. And what is Cooper’s doing muddying it’s rep making one.

Cloudy bronze with circulating yeast particles and a weak head. Slight yeast aroma. Even more slight bitter citric flavour. Very watery and thin. Well, they achieved the mildness. Especially if mild means lacking taste.

Very faintly hazy medium gold with a tiny very short last head and a few bubbles. Very faint cardboard, wheat beer like bready yeast and grainy malt aroma. Soft watery quite low carb almost flat body - strange because one can still see some carbonation in the glass. Taste is mild lemon like bitter and a hint of sweet corn malt. I’d much rather have a Rogers, Not for me I’m afraid.
