clear straw colour indicating that it is filteres, unusal for Coopers. Big white head mild malty aroma, hint of citrus as well. Big malty flavour and mild bitter tatse. Full flavour for light beer, "not too bad", but then I am a big fan of Coopers.

This is clearly good for the style but not a truly super light beer. So in reality should really be compared the stable mate ’Mild’ plus the likes of Punch and Judy. Good balance right throughout and the malts do lend some decent weight with toffee and a almost ESP-like finish. In another (non-beer geek) life I’d be happy with this as a mid weeker.

Draught at Kings Head Hotel, Adelaide. Clear golden with white head. Aroma and flavour of pale malt, citrus and minerally. Low bitterness and relatively clean. Not a bad light beer overall.

375ml bottle. Creamy and fluffy white head of foam. Pale amber in colour with good carbonation and large bubbles and a head that lingers. Very indistinct mild malta roma with a crisp tatse and good bitterness. Surprisinglt good fow a light beer with good mouthfeel.

Big stubbie 375ml. Rating as a lite beer, as should be. Light straw and thin looking with a puffy head. Clean grainy malt and bitterness. Crisp, easy drinking and quite good for a lite beer.

Draught. A clear light gold with a large creamy white head and impressive lacing. Just the slightest hint of grainy malt on the nose. Light mouthfeel alright. But decent malt palate.

I’m a little confused. Mine says Cooper’s Premium Light, others have Regency Light and another beer is listed as Cooper’s New Light!?! Anyway, the beer is not that important to matter none-the-less. Obviously regional variations. Other’s poured a hazy, medium gold, whilst mine poured quite a lively, brilliantly clear palest yellow gold with a huge pillowy white head that lasted and daubed fluff all down the glass. Tinny, slightly metallic hop and cardboardy malt nose with nothing really else. Quite soft in the mouth in all aspects. Soapy, light body with very soft carbonation. Slightly plastic towards the back, sweet upfront with a dash of peppery, grassy hops coming in just before the short and crisp swallow. Overall, it wasn’t too bad a light beer. Certainly some N/A beers would rate higher in the flavour department, but this was easy to drink. Just not a huge fan of light lagers. (375mL, BB 06/08/06)

Quite decent for a light beer. Lots of malt and a solid taste. Best Aust light beer (slighty better than Cascade Light).

Another fairly bland inoffensive light Australian lager, as if there were’nt enough of these in our store fridges as it is here we have another one 100th of 1% different from all the rest. Clean crisp beer, just plain dull.

Draught. Great for what it is... but at the opposite end of the spectrum for me. Drinkable with a smooth mouth and a crisp finish. Surprising amount of malt and balanaced well with the slight grassy hops. Best "light" beer I’ve tried in a while.
