Description
To say we're 'born to brew' may seem like a bold statement, but after dedicating over 150 years to the art of brewing, we believe it's true.

Coopers is a brewing family. Its in our blood. For six generations we've been custodians of a proud legacy that began in 1862 when Thomas Cooper brewed his first batch of ale. Our passion for brewing has kept us together and helped us through economic recessions, wars, government imposts, changing tastes, and the occasional hostile takeover bid.

Today, our unique brand of naturally conditioned ales and stouts are enjoyed around the world and we're still making these beers using the same traditional brewing methods that Thomas did. And when we say hand-made by the Cooper family', we mean it. If you visit the Brewery you'll probably bump into a Cooper who works there. While other breweries might make all sorts of claims about their 'origins' the fact is that we are Australia's oldest family owned and run brewery, and that's not changing anytime soon.

Tight white head on a well carbonated murky coloured dull golden coloured body.
Minimal pale malt & caramel aroma.
Medium bodied, finely carbonated & foamy with a cloying back.
Zesty citrus, malt, grainy, oat & caramel tastes with a bitter finish.
Tastes like it's made with cheap crap ingredients.

375ml can. No idea what it looked like as I drank it from the can! The aroma is malt, light hops. The flavour is light bitter, with a light watery light hop bitter palate. Light bodied with average carbonation. Light in body and flavour. I won’t be buying a four pack!

Il gusto al naso resta attratto dall'orzo. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma dalla buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine, con qualche bollicina grande. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è giallo ambrato. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è pronunciato. La forza gustativa è elevata e la permanenza è sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. In bocca l'aroma è quello di miele, cracker, biscotto, frutta secca, erbaceo, agrumi e spezie.

Bottle at Down Under, thx Gurthnar! Bottled November 2024. Pitch black body, thick off-white head. Nutty, bit roasty, caramelly aroma. Soft smooth taste, creamy, loads of roasty black patent malt, but avoiding astringency, low raisin. Low bitterness. Good stuff!

0.33l bottle, Down Under, Prague. Hazy holden body, fleeting white head. Loads of dried fruit, esters, light oxidation in the aroma, but not aggro. Smooth taste, not really sparkly hahah. Creamy dried fruit esters, smooth, if som what oxidized maltiness, low citrusy and herbal undertones. Not in top shape, I mean, it was bottled April 21st 2024, but actually kinda weirdly nice.

Bottle at Down Under. BAD 10/2024. This has no issues tho. Med-thin bod, med carbo. Med bitter, med-light sweet. Assertive roast, pleasant mix of coff, cocoa, a bit of ash. Med-light dried fruits, fit in well. Hint of earthy hops. Overall pretty good.

Bottle at Down Under. Med-med-thin bod, med-light carbo. Med-light bitter, light sweet. Mostly malty, medium nutty, caramelly, a bit simple, but works. Light dried fruits. Then again, the bottle is around 2 years old, just found out now. Ok.
