Coopers Red, Best After 7/8/22. 002 had a smaller head which faded rapidly. Red, poured first, had a large head, good retention and plenty of lasting lacing. 002 had none. 002 had a subdued aroma. Red had a bready/malty aroma. Red had good, lasting carbonation. 002 was significantly flatter, I think this bottle probably only got one, maybe one and a half carbonation drops. It wasn't marked as an exbeeriment so I'm gonna blame it on my priming & capping assistant. Red had a fresh malty/bready, bitter taste. 002 had a subdued maltiness and the bitterness overwhelmed the residual chloramine twang (this may have been assisted by the low carbonation). Red was a far superior Sparkling Ale but 002 presented as an acceptable but unremarkable pale ale. It's a wonder you didn't chuck the Coopers Sparkling down the sink being too old. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pale Man Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 19 hours ago, RDT2 said: American Wheat beer 4 days in the keg and my first impression is this beer is dangerously smashable and would be awesome in summer! I used Simcoe the whole way through the boil and it just comes through to give a nice citrus note??? I taste the yeast just, so it plays nicely with the hops and malt! Nice beer interesting to see it in a couple of weeks! Head all the way as expected with over half the grist in wheat! Yum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are quite a nice refreshing Pilsner, especially today in Whyalla, when it's 30c. See how these others go...probably tomorrow, never tried Bowden Brewing before, looking forward to it.

Don't be silly, there was nothing wrong with that one. Besides, it wasn't old, its only just had its first birthday.

Pale Man Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Coopers Bootmaker Pale Ale I brewed with Ale and Wheat Malt. Quite nice for a can beer. I'm pleasantly surprised. Malty with a nice bitterness. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brauhaus Fritz Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Probably not the right beer to start the afternoon, but I couldn’t finish it last night. Kept half a flip top bottle in the fridge.Lost a bit of its carbonation but retained its beautiful what I would describe as plummy, fruitcake flavour. It’s packing a punch (8.8%) and still poured with a beautiful thick head. For lovers of strong, heavy and flavoursome beers the “Tsar’s Tar” is a great recipe. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenyinthewestofsydney Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 IMO the best trappist beer on the market. Rochefort 8. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Coopers Genuine Draught This is from a keg, whereas the previous tasting was a bottle. Seems better from the keg. Not sure why. Carbonation is better. Plus it is about 6 weeks between the bottled and the kegged taste. Sweet-ish beer aroma plus some spice Sweet flavour with mild bitterness Good carbonation but modest head retention Pretty reasonable brew 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Rattenhund Classic Pilsner Not exactly what was intended. It did not attenuate to the level expected. Only around 65% for a 4.3% beer. Still tastes very nice. Intense spicy herbal aroma Similar flavours plus clean and malty 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamus O'Sean Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Aussie Rice Lager Maybe a bit to early to be drinking. Only 14 days in the bottle. But you have got to give it a try once it is carbonated. Sweet aroma with hints of Pride of Ringwood hops Fairly clean flavour with a bit of sweetness 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
