coopers pale ale

on an anonymous tip, i tried the coopers brewery original pale ale
the suggestion came as an answer to finding a beer that has a high hops content, but doesn't taste hops bitter
you know, a well balanced beer!


i gotta tell you, i'm not a fan
i tried it once with dinner
and then again the next day, and it did nothing for me (or for alison)
so much so that i poured some strongbow in there and made me a snakebite
and that worked out just fine for me

from the website:  "Guaranteed to turn heads, this is the beer that inspired a new generation of ale drinkers. With its fruity and floral characters, balanced with a crisp bitterness, Coopers Pale Ale has a compelling
flavour which is perfect for every occasion.  Naturally fermented in the “Burton-upon-Trent” style, a secondary fermentation creates the trademark sediment that gives ‘Pale’ its fine cloudy appearance.
4.5% Alc/Vol"

not malty at all
very very pale in the glass
very sedimenty as should be expected from bottle conditioning

maybe it was the fruity and floral
and live yeastiness...
but it just didn't do anything at all for me...
