The Captain!! Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 So had an email from coopers saying that the last ale ale is going to be in a can, no call me stupid but I thought Dr Tim’s was pale ale in a can? Well that’s what all my south aust mates say it is. I’ve never tried it. Captain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I was asking is, isn’t Dr Tim’s the original pale ale in a can? Or is that Dr Tim’s something different all together. Captain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerlust Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 It's been my understanding that Dr. Tim's has always been Pale Ale in a can, or in essence, as close as it can be. My take on it is that it is a marketing strategy due to the vast difference in sales of Coopers Pale Ale (in the bottle) vs Coopers Dr. Tim's (in the can), particularly in recent years. A good move by Coopers I think, & I wish them well with the shift. Cheers, Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain!! Posted July 21, 2018 Author Share Posted July 21, 2018 Thanks Lusty. I think it’s a good move by coopers too. Time to track me down a carton Captain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltop hops Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Has anyone tried the Pale Ale in a can yet? Want some feedback before I get a box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlos_1984 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Yeah I have. It's great. It tastes different to Dr Tim's. They say it's the same thing but based off my tastes they are not. Still prefer pale ale in stubbies though. Session ale in cans is bloody awesome and I'd choose it I've pale cans any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porschemad911 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Yep really enjoyed my case of the Session Ale cans when it first came out. Slowly working my way through my case of ESVA at the moment, then will probably grab a case of the pale cans. I really enjoyed the case of 440ml Dr Tim's cans I bought ages ago now, so if it tastes like that, all good. Personally I prefer rolling the can to get a little bite from the yeast, it's too sweet for me otherwise. Cheers, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silmaril Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I did the Coopers tour a few years ago, and the guide said Dr Tims was the Pale Ale in a can, but rebranded to avoid skepticism and stigma about canned beer. The guide was in favour of the can as a vessel though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no doubt in my mind what so ever that the can is better for beer. Do I like drinking out of a can? No I don’t. I always decanter into a glass. Unless I’m at a festival or the like. Good to here that from the guide though. Cements my thoughts on the beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundawake Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 When chatting to a few people working at bottlos even they were surprised when I told them Dr Tims was just Pale Ale in a can, one didn't believe me and asked who told me. Dr Tim Cooper was the answer! As a test my friends and I bought a 6 pack of Dr Tims and pale ale and did a blind test. They're both the same. I would say 98% the same. Difference in taste could be attributed to age of brew, or some minor minor tweaking by the brewery. I hope (and suspect) the other ales will end up in the can too, if current sales are anything to go by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well pale, mild and session ales have all followed suit. I'd gladly see the term of "red tins" be replaced with sparkling in a can. Will make camping and fishing a bit dangerous though...

Note to oneself: Pack bottles on next camping or fishing trip, not cans. Cheers, Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlos_1984 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I was referring to the red tins aka west end. Therefore if sparkling was made in cans then they would effectively be also referred to as red tins, and are more dangerous than their predecessor of West end. Albeit much tastier and fulfilling.

Beerlust Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I knew what you meant Karlos. I was just kidding around mate. I agree with you about the Sparkling Ale on a camping/fishing trip. Definitely a beer to drink at the end of a day out there, not one I'd advise to session drink throughout a long day. I've attempted this feat a few times & found the days ended up a lot shorter than originally planned. Cheers & good brewing, Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlos_1984 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 All good. I love sparklings. I've seen mates who weren't schooled up on their potential, neck a fair few in the sun whilst taking turns on the ski biscuit on a hot day...didn't make the bbq dinner that night and we're shot ducks haha. In saying that, dunno if I'd take on a box of original red tins in the sun whilst wetting a line for the whole day. Much better options out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
