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.

Bottle. Copper, a cream head fades to a coat. 6+ Bready aroma with some singed caramel. As usual the variations in hops are detectable when fresh - there's dried peach, gentle floral and weedy notes, some tropical jubes. Quite taut bready malt perhaps enhanced by quite peppery and weedy bitterness that snaps. As ever. And as ever, deeply unfashionable - but hurry before it sells out.

Pours cloudy golden color with one finger of frothy white head, good retention. Malty and yeasty aroma. Sweet malty, grainy, citrusy, orange, mellony & lightly yeasty, with a spicy hop flavor....higher carbonation contributes to a verry dry finish.

Large foamy white head on a murky amber coloured body.
Resin, orange & malt aroma.
Medium to full, smooth with a lightly carbonated back.
Orange, spiced, apricot & peppery tastes with a malt backbone & zesty finish.
Lowly rated but I think it's decent.
