Newish beer, been around for about a year. Was also a new venture for Cooper’s who have more or less been an Ale brand. The drop is a top one and goes down with ease, very nice lager.

Presentation: It was severed in a brown 12.7oz bottle with a mug at the Outback Steakhouse. Normally the mugs are frozen but this one came out at normal room temperature. Appearance: The body has a good golden yellow hue with good clarity and a bright white head on top. This loosely packed head fades fast and leaves only a ring of foam around the edge of the glass. Smell: The aroma is simple and light. It has just a moderate nose of light grain and husk with faint hops in the background. Taste/Palate: Its flavor is mostly of light grain, plain biscuits and grassy hops that give it a good balance of bitterness and a crisp clean finish. On the tongue this light bodied beer has a light, crisp, and refreshing well carbonated feel. Notes: Overall it is a very basic Lager that is clean and easy to drink on a hot day. However, 5 bucks a pop at the Outback Steakhouse is way overpriced for this style of beer.

Pours a nice yellow gold. Oder of straw. Active carbonation. Nice light pilsner with a clean crisp finish. A bit of a cidery aftertaste.

Poured a pale gold, with a thin head. Lots of carbonation. Yeasty, grainy aroma. Smooth taste. Didn’t blow my socks off, but was a nice beer to drink.

Wells, smells mostly like a lager, but I found the beer quite acceptable. A little bite in the finish and no funkiness, certainly a fine beer on a day like today in Vegas, over 110.

Tasted 30/09/2006. Half pint at Pig and Whistle in the Sunshine Plaza at Maroochydore. Pale gold, white head that holds and laces strongly. The nose and flavour are simple and similar: fresh, dry, crisp and grassy, with background stony mineral notes. Mild bitterness. Light weight and medium carbonation. Similar to the Original Pale Ale but a lot cleaner. Fresh, cold and drinkable on a warm spring afternoon (29c). Everyone below is giving Coopers grief but if they have to sell a lager to stay in the game, then sell a bloody lager... Anyone who can’t stomach this one shouldn’t be able to stomach the Pale or the Sparkling either because it’s not all that different boys. Get a grip.

Pours bright yellow into a shaker. Bright white head recedes at a medium pace to coat surface leaving spider lacing. Sour cookie aromas. Crisp and grainy malts upfront. Slightly sour bitter finish. Taint awful.

UPDATED: DEC 31, 2011 The aroma is very beery and grainy and the appearance is gold and clear. The flavor is basic pale lager and again very beery. Not really groundbreaking but the graininess gives it an edge that makes it decent although far from unique.

Mostly malts with a nice bitter finish. Slight chemical taste to it, but overall not too bad.

Had this one during my holiday in Australia april/may 2009. Golden colored brew. Malty aroma. Sweet, fresh, malty.
