Coopers in renowned for its expertise in top fermentation and natural bottle conditioning. This process gives the iconic 'Red Label' Sparkling Ale a cloudy appearance and a fruity and floral aroma. Generous use of malt and hops deliver a delicious malty palate and a well-balanced after bitterness.
Little has changed since Thomas Cooper brewed his first batch of Sparkling Ale in 1862. It's still naturally conditioned in the bottle with our unique strain of Coopers yeast. To enjoy the complete Sparkling experience, roll the bottle to mix in the yeast sediment before pouring. No additives. No preservatives.
Our much loved Sparkling Ale is a bold and distinctive beer with a perfect balance of malt, hops and fruity characteristics. One of the things that give our ales that unique Coopers flavour and cloudy appearance is a process called natural conditioning. To achieve this, we add a small amount of live yeast to our beer just before packaging. This causes a secondary fermentation in the bottle or can, which carbonates the beer and eliminates the need for any preservatives or additives.

Historical tick which I am adding as a rate so that I can see the impact it has on my stats. 500 Beers To Try Before You Die. Waitrose, Frimley. In my early days of discovering beer this was actually a favourite. But haven't noticed it anywhere for years. Will buy if I spot it.

375ml bottle from Bliznetsy in Moscow. Pours hazy gold with no head but a lot of floaters. Aroma is fruity esters, malt, bready. Similar aroma to other Coopers ales. Taste is light sweet, citrus, yeast, honey. Medium bitter finish.

Cloudy with little chunks of yeast, hardly any head. Orange, hops and a slight mustard aroma. Indeed sprakling with a good lacing. Hoppy, just a bit yeasty flavor with apple. Very refreshing, maybe just a bit thin, but with a fairly long hoppy finish. Lovely beer from down under.

Dieses Bier ist eigentlich nicht schlecht; es hat einen spritzigen Körper und einige grasige Aromen, weshalb es wohl bei heißem Wetter gut zu trinken ist. Es ist halt nur etwas wässrig, was vielleich gut zu fettem Essen und Hitze passt, aber die Aromenreise stark verkürzt.
