Coopers Brewery
Commercial Brewery in Regency Park, South Australia, Australia 🇦🇺
Established in 1862
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.

Best after 16 July 2009 on the label.
Not quite pitch black, there's a good 1 finger head of tannish foam with little lacing.
Big roasted malt nose with some mild notes of chocolate.
Roasted and sweet malts in the taste, a bit of chocolate, some coffee, and an unusual but well integrated more than a hint of fruity tones. Very nice.
Medium bodied with medium carbonation, though it feels quite bubbly during the swallow, it has a good mouth feel.
It does have a slightly boozy "feel" to it so I reckon 1 at a sitting would be otimal for me.

I've had this many times in the past, now I get to review it.
The bottle has a best after date. Sept 1, 2009.
I've always loved the name of the brew as compared to what it looks like when you pour it in a glass. Sparkling? It's a cloudy orange yellow. Small head of foam with some good lacing.
I note some citrus and a strongish smell of malt. Just like I remember.
Taste wise, it brings the lemony citrus hops and brings a solid malt background though it's not as sweet as in the smell. Could be a good thing. Also has some fruity tones I can't stick solely on the lemon I'm tasting. A nice plus.
A nice medium or at least close to medium body with a little less carbonation than a few of their other offerings...definitely an improvement in the mouth feel department.
Finally, I could drink copious quantities of this sparkling ale. Lots of good flavours and not a high price tag when it comes to the abv. Just generally, very enjoyable.

Vintage 2015. Ten years old Ale. Many thanks to Eric De Geyter (Belgium's Best in Wrzesnia, near Poznan). Fajne, ciekawe winne, lekko korzenne i karmelowe, goryczka tonizuje te karmelowosc. Ladnie wyglada w kieliszku, piana srednia jakos sie trzyma. Do sera czy wedlin na deske pasuje.
