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 sediment...
