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.

For a non-stout this packs quite a punch for a beer, I’ve only had it in bottles so I can’t comment on the look of it. Still tastes good though.

Bottle. Citric aromas. Pours hazy golden, with nice white head. Light body and high carbonation. Taste is crispy and sweet. Short aftertaste. Quite enjoyable.

Oct 2006: Maybe I am missing something here, but I am underwhelmed by this beer. Poured into a Duval glass from a 375ml brown bottle, thought I had stopped before the sediment got out, but the brew was not a clear golden colour, more a dull copper, with no head to talk of. Smell was non existant, not even dirty pants, or even fresh running spring water. The taste, what taste? We are talking about fizzy water here, very unimpressed. Where the 5.8% comes from beats the hell out of me. I have 3 more of these in my garage, I think my son is getting them for Christmas (he drinks anything, as long as it is crap).

shaynsawchuk (26) - Mississauga, Ontario, CANADA - MAY 1, 2012
375 mL bottle. Nice aromas of citrus peel, grass and hay. Pours cloudy, with a thick white head. Roughly the color of unfiltered apple cider, lots of dead yeast floating around in there as mentioned on the bottle. Intriguing to look at, but not necessarily appealing. The taste is a little lame, citrus and bread, bitter hops and a weak finish. Easy on the palate with nice carbonation, but not enough flavor to prove interesting. Disappointed.

Bottle. Hazy gold color. Light and crisp tasting. Pretty flavorful but not memorable although I feel like I can have this anytime. Good

tomer (968) - Rishon Le Zion, ISRAEL - APR 25, 2012
Bottle, smallstable head, hazy light orange colour, aroma of herbs, almonds and some fruits, flavour of citrus and peach with a strong and a touch coarse herbal bitterness. Drinkable but not too exciting.

2 finger head. carbonaded n there is some tiny dots of I guess yest in it. Like a cloudy orNGE look. Taste is heavy bodied kinda like jam,some fruit like orange citrus and some spice. it’s kinda like a wheat beer and fruit beer a tad. different ale. worth trying out at least. cheers!!

Metalchopz (1427) - Quebec, CANADA - APR 15, 2012
Originally rated August 2004. This Australian beer poured a hazy, orange-gold colour, with a small white head. Particules were floating everywhere in the glass (looking more like spices, than yeast). Could smell aromas of citrus (fruity) and wheat. Tasted mild and fruity (a tad of peach). Sediments form at the bottom of the glass. Does not look like a mass-produced brew, quite pleasant.
