Dominating by fruity, yeasty and sweet, bringing to balance by hop bitterness and biscuity malt which also linger as an aftertaste.

Poured into a pint glass

This beer had a typical EPA appearance. There was a nice head on it after a vigorous pour. The taste was buscuity and citrusy with a bit of a grassy smell.

This brew had carbonation similar to soda.

Overall, it was quite refreshing and would go great with a hot sunny day.

Poured from a 33cl bottle into a burgundy wine glass. Nice 1" head after a vigorous pour.

This ale is very light, refreshing, lemony, with a spritzy carbonation that makes it quite suitable for Summer weather. It's a little lagery for my tastes, but still an excellent choice overall.

Served in a Lagunitas mason jar.

Coopers: Australian for prosecco? Anyway, this stuff pours a clear amber-brass topped by a finger of glowing off-cream foam. The nose comprises light grapefruit peel, mild toffee, buttery biscuit, and a vague whiff of pine needle. The taste continues the grapefruit-pine alliance, but it's old due to negligence, and when it gets called to action, things look their age on the battlefield. Everything is old, musty, and graham cracker-y. The body is a light medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a dry finish. Overall, a weak little pale ale with nothing memorable about it.

Pours an orange yellow in color with a decent head at pour that disappates somewhat quickly. Carbonation a bit more like soda but some remnants do remain on the top and the rim of the glass. Yeast and/or other sediment present. Smells typical pale ale - maybe some citrus. Taste is clean and refreshing - subtle witbier qualities.
