Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

Cloudy in the tradition of Coopers beers, but an excellent drop. One of the beers you are keen to see behing the glass fridge door, although one to avoid if you are looking to make an impression on anyone important..... tends to put a fair old bend in you after 8 or so pots.
Pours a cloudy yellow with no head whatsoever. Has a fruity/soapy aroma followed with a malty flavor. Really not bad but seems to be missing something.
UPDATED: OCT 9, 2003 A high quality drop. Coopers are renowned for there brewing excellence, and the sparkling ale typifies their skill and mastery.
