Nice IPA flavour and style. Laced the whole glass and was probably more well balanced than most beers. Was yours subtle woodsy? Or was it more of a hoppy beer? Might have to try another tomorrow Wasn’t shy with the hops. i tried a few of mine just under room temp and in fact the flavours come through a lot more like this. I think mine was the ‘raw’ version of what was produced at Coopers, IMO. Personally even though I crammed in the hops with a big dry hop addition, maybe it was balanced by the malts and honey that were shall we say ‘generous’ in their quantities. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben 10 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 @Woodsy1525230278 got my box today. Went click and collect and got a mate to pick it up for me. Very nice beer, definite Coopers aroma, like the XPA when the can was opened. Beautiful colour. Great head. Nice late bitterness in the mouth. Slight hop burp just then. Nice one... congrats. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicolasW Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) Going to try to pick some of these after work. Looking forward to giving it a go.

The anticipation from seeing the promos and following this forum added a level of excitement too Q: I note it has coopers ‘best after’ date stamp.... would it be worth stashing a few, and for how long? I believe the best after is ensure its carbed up as its bottle conditioned - well i guess its canditioned. Light (as in colour) hoppy beers don't particularly like being stored. NEIPAs in particular known for being fickle for deteriorating with age and best drunk young - some people say it should within 2 weeks but I think that's taking it too far. Generally high alcohol beers malt driven beers survive better from aging. Having said that you could try and see how it goes.

This is correct. Consuming before this date can lead to the secondary ferment not being completed and a sweet/undercarbed beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it should be treated any different as it’s in a can? I ask the question because on the same weekend we sampled woodsy’s brew, one of my awesome neighbors (and street brewco members) brought out some ‘17 coopers vintage ales and they were fn awesome! Not sure how much of the extra awesomeness was from the cellaring though... what a weekend! Edited May 20, 2020 by G00DSY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah mate, they're sending another. Lucky I have plenty of HB to tide me over.

MitchellScott Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) Polished off a whole case from Thursday to now. Went down to Canberra for my sisters 30th and picked up a case down there. Certainly a nice beer that you can session without any issues. As some others have said I don't think its quite IPA territory but nonetheless a beaut beer. I was expecting some more hop aroma/flavour but the whole beer moulded together nicely and I think its the first time I've had a beer with honey in it so that was cool too! Well done Woodsy Edited May 24, 2020 by MitchellScott 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done Woodsy Cheers Mitchell! I don’t think it’s an IPA either. I brewed it as a NEIPA with honey in it. I was curious about using the honey but I think it gave a complexity to the beer which is what I was after. The more I taste it, I think it’s somewhere between an IPA, a NEIPA and a honey forward pale ale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am interested in this, as when I go to the supermarket, there are MANY varieties of honey! If you are allowed to say, did you specify to Coopers which variety of honey you used, and, did they use the same one for the "final product". Thank you Woodsy!
