First Impression
Sort of a retro type of bottle. The label could have been designed anywhere from 1800 to 2010... A choice is offered as to how to properly enjoy this beer. The two options for consumption are laid out in the fine print on the back label, but as no one tends to read the fine print, I've just poured it in a glass. It sure looks like a quality article. A touch cloudy, which, had I read the fine print would be due to the natural bottle conditioning...
First Sip
Only slightly tart in the nostrils, and surprisingly mild for a yeasty beasty strong ale!
Halfway
Entertainingly complex, the malt and hops-and in the case of this particular sort of beer, the yeast-are cooperating very nicely!
Bottoms Up
The average beer drinker (not you!) will probably not be overly impressed with Coopers Sparkling Ale as it is for grown-ups. It is not dull. It's certainly not shy. It makes no apologies, and coming from a fella who lived the best part of a decade in 'Stralya it doesn't get much more 'Strayne than that! Aussie! Aussie! Aussie!
83/100
