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.

330mL bottle, pours a hazy dull orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out cereal grains, stale bready malt and vegetables. Flavour is along the same lines, with bready malt, cereal grains, and vegetables. Not too fresh or pleasant. Meh.

33cl Bottle at Drover’s Dog. Hazy light amber colour, off-white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, toffee. Flavour is medium sweet, malty, toffee, soft bitterness. Light bodied. Easy drinking but also very generic and bland.
