COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Coopers Sparkling Ale is brewed naturally by the centuries-old top fermentation method just as it was in the beginning by Thomas Cooper. This beer displays a solid head and a distinctive, full-bodied flavour enhanced by a soft, fruity character and the sediment which gives it a cloudy appearance.

DSG (2635) - Tel Aviv, ISRAEL - FEB 9, 2012
Bottle. Hazy deep golden to amber color with a big frothy white head. Fruity aroma of yeast, light graininess and some noble hops. Flavor starts sweetish and a bit malty with light sugary hints and some yeast, continues to a bitter and spicy finish with some hops. Medium-bodied. Pretty decent and refreshing.

Padilha (64) - BRAZIL - FEB 4, 2012
Cerveja muito bonita! Uma Cor forte alaranjada, além de visíveis fragmentos de "yeast" (levedo) que são misturados à cerveja no processo de maturação, dando o aviso de agitar um pouco antes de beber. Porém... Aparência não é tudo! Os dois primeiros cítricos goles são bem agradáveis, mas o retrogosto fica cada vez mais amargo a cada gole, danficando a drinkability e deixando a cerveja com um gosto enjoado. Portanto, ela é bonita, mas só bonita.

whitecap (164) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - JAN 25, 2012
Bottle, pours a hazy gold color with a thin white cap. Sediments float around in the glass. Aroma of malt, citrus and yeast and some hops. Quite enjoyable but the yeast reminds me of the yeast provided in the $20 home-brew kits... I’m pretty sick of that yeast.. Other than the yeast this is a pretty good golden ale.

BeerPharoah (6) - Leichhardt, AUSTRALIA - JAN 12, 2012 does not count
An enigma - I really don’t know what else I can say about this ... it’s a yeasty monster that really messes with my mind. I’ve woken up with the neighbour’s cat in bed with me after a night on this. It’s made me want to invade China, bed all of Tiger Woods’ conquests and other desires I just don’t feel comfortable sharing with you. Truly strange people drink this beer and nothing else.

Bottle sampled at Billabong in Winnipeg. A nice and interesting ale. Cloudly from the sediment. Kind of sweet tasting. Nice.

Bottle. Easy drinking amber coloured beer. Well carbonated with a good dry finish. I can drink loads of these bad boys.
