Review – Coopers Brewery Orig. Pale Ale

TheFullPint.com encourages you to write about your favorite beer. Whether it is a traditional review, or a fun article, we want to make you an Internet Beer Superstar.

Found: Cost Plus World Market in a six pack

Tasted: At home, room temperature pint glass, 12 oz. bottle.

Appearance: Golden, yet cloudy with sentiment floating in from the bottle (bottle fermented), good foam top with a fruity smell.

Aroma: Fruity and hoppy, very light. Doesn’t overpower you, but gives you a hint at what you are about to taste.

Taste: Smooth, fruity and hoppy with a little bit of an aftertaste, not a bad one. Hits the back of your throat like silk, almost like a blonde ale. Not your IPA or your American Pale Ale, this PA is light and smooth to taste. I honestly can’t compare it to another American standard or microbrew on the market today. That’s a good thing…

Drinkability: Easy. Would be absolutely perfect for hot days to cool you off and keep your throat from going bone dry. Unconsciously, I finished off my first pint very quickly and needed a second one to finish this review. At 4.5% alc/vol, that can be dangerous… if you are light on your beer.

With this beer and Foster’s marketing, Coopers could be the Australian beer you’d think of first. Am I a fan? After one-plus six pack, yes. The price is steep – $9 for a sixer at Cost Plus World Market – but I picked up another sixer of this and a sixer of Coopers Dark Ale. Can’t wait to get that sixer cold and ready to drink.

As I said before, this isn’t your typical PA. It is more like a blonde ale in its appearance and drinkability, but that isn’t a deterrent. If I can find this at a cheaper price, I can easily slide this into my beer rotation. Highly recommended. 4/5
