Coopers Pale Ale

Terrible – I May as well have got a case of vb.
Coopers dry – I haven't tasted the pale ale but I really like the Coopers dry. I'm a Queenslander but I would rather support an Australian owned beer made in SA than a Queensland made beer owned by foreigners any day. The young blokes don't care where their beer or duel cabs are made.lol
Great beer big price jump – A couple of years ago I could buy a six pack of Coopers Pale Ale for $18, now it's $24. Evan though I love the beer I'm drinking red wine as that price is stable. Coopers is now a treat a couple of times a year. Price gouging 0 me 1. Show details
Coopers is the best beer on the market coopers pale ale – I started drinking coopers beers over 10 years ago now both my soninlaws are coopers fans every venue I go to I ask for coopers it's the best Show details
Cans no good – Love Coopers Pale - in a stubbie or long neck. Its my favourite beer. Finally tried the cans and the flavour is very different. Tried pouring to a glass and its no better. It seems extra bitter, and you lose the delicate hops almost completely. I hate it :( Show details
1 stubby may be enough – after Dan Murphy's seemed to have not have any more German Beck's Bier, I tried a case of these and was strangely satisfied - 1 stubby felt enough whereas I would typically inhale 2 Beck's without thinking. and maybe because I'm an old home brewer who has brewed probably over 100 batches, I felt this one had a satisfying hoppy taste compared to… Read more
Becks or Mairlben-brewed Stella WOFTAM.
So yeah - interesting the haters in other reviews - everyone's taste is different - I stopped home brewing Coopers Real Ale on a mate's advice that contained yeast increased my risk of prostate cancer
but for me, the first case of this one did the job - happy with - think I'll buy s'more after I finish the shippy Stella fake beer from not-Belgium (looking at u - CUB)
Horrible tasteless stuff – Bought some of this recently and surprised they’re still in business. It’s just generally a bland, uninteresting beer that isn’t very nice to drink. And I normally only drink ale. Show details
Shockingly Bad – What happened to Coopers? Once was a dependable beer, now tastes nastier than Tooheys New. Can we get our money back? Seems this beer has gone the route of mass produced foul tasteless mainstream. Show details
Do not support an unsupported bevvy – Okay, I love my coopers sparkling and coopers pale , however this attempt at craft beer I feel was rushed and reminds me of cheap wine in a nice bottle. Literally rushed and thrown together to mix with the true artists of the profession. A disgraceful mix. Hopless, tasteless and completely undeserving of an Indian Pale Ale label. I'll not be in… Read more
any hurry to support coopers in the future. It seems to me this decision to release this drink...was completely business motivated not motivated by the love of beer. Disappointed to say the least. If I still lived in Adelaide I'd [word removed] on your doorstep and demand my money back.
Getting up to 4 bad ones per carton – We drink a lot of Coopers Pale Ale at our workshop. Average a carton a night. Getting up to 4 bad ones per carton. Foul cleaning fluid taste. All during the Covid19 period. Not happy Show details
Nasty sour taste – Coopers Pale has been my only beer for many years. Have just bought a carton, bottles labelled ' Best after 14/4/20, 12:16 (2)' Have tried several, and all have a very unpleasant sour taste. What's gone wrong? Anyone else had this problem? Show details
dependable – reliable flavour, when hoppy beer becomes too much you can always come back to coopers pale
This is 101% perfect – I have drank 3 glasses today, but magically need not to go to toilet To me this is a good beer, other brands is different
Not what it once was – It can be a bit hit and miss.The last lot I bought was horrible.I drank three and the other three have been in the fridge for about two weeks now. Show details
Coopers Beer – My boyfriend and I enjoy a fresh tasty beer to enjoy. Unfortantly after having just one cooper beer we both experience a stomach ache and headaches. Could be from something else but only happens when we drink the coopers beers. On a positive note, it does taste great! Show details
Great taste, cloudy hangover – Not a fan of the cloudy hangover and restless sleep. But a great tasting beer, coopers have always had a great taste who doesn't like the little bit of sediment to prove the authenticity. Show details
Very Overrated and Ordinary – The title should say it all. There is very little flavour in this beer unlike the Sparkling Ale. I don't know if it is the yeast, the water, the hops, however this is not much better than the other mega swill beers sold throughout Australia. Show details
Best beer in Australia – It's rugged, it's wild, it's punchy. Leaves that great beer taste in your mouth. I never thought I would review a beer in my life but I just did, so go get it! Show details
Tastes vary! – I Iike the milky texture, at times it goes down a treat.Each to their own. If its Stinking Hot I'll go for a Bitter VB,MB or West End Red Can. Cheers
Forced to drink it – Coopers Mild ale 3.5 has been the only beer available at the Gold Coast 600 super car event. Whilst it's ok to have one or maybe two having a long day of slow constant drinking on this stuff is near impossible. It's too strong in flavour and low in alcohol and if the headach don't get you first the sick feeling will. Maybe it's a way of deterring… Read more
drinking. Nobody I talked to liked it. Even the people serving it appolagised for it. So many better mid beers to choose from. Steer clear.
Unrefined but true to its origins – I don't mind an English style ale from time to time and this is as close to it as it gets from an Australian made product. I find this beer to be too yeasty on the palate and a little heavy on the stomach for my liking. I get an unpleasant slightly rancid comeback when i expel air from my stomach in the form of a burp. I feel the floral notes are… Read more
murky and lacks clarity just like the appearance. As an experiment, I tried decanting and even passed it through a filter as I dislike the flavor intensifying as you get down to the bottom of the bottle because of the sediment, destroying the flavor of the hops and unbalancing the yeast flavor versus the hops. It was a bit smoother but not a lot. If you are old school, It's fine but there are much better more refined ales on the market.
One of the best more commercial beers – As a fan of craft beer, I find Coopers Pale Ale to satisfy my taste for something different to your typical lager. The malt and hop ratio is nice and the cloudy unfiltered product is so different to the other commercial beer available here in Adelaide. Sometimes it gets a bit heavy after more than a couple but that's what a proper beer does!… Read more
Coopers make some other great beers primarily their stout. Definitely recommend it highly if you get the chance.
The gals love it – The best Aussie produced beer you can buy. Thanks SA for an easy drinking full flavoured fruity pale ale. We have been consuming this beer for years and it's still our favorite. ♡♡COOPERS♡♡
Great and cheap beer – Coopers pale ale is refreshing and crisp. Being bottle fermented lends to the great quality of this beer. The pale ale has a light hazy amber colour with a light fruit taste with a small nip of hops on the follow through. Hardly a craft beer but miles ahead of many local run of the mill breweries beers.
One for the lads – This is a pearler from Coopers and it ticks all the right boxes. Full of flavour and taste and easy drinking if served icy cold. Dont forget to roll the stubby before you open it to stir up the sediment a bit and as they say in the classics" steak and eggs in every glass ' Fruity flavour and unique taste.
Forever my favourite – This beer is a true Australian classic. The taste shows the right amount of hops with a satisfying finish. I enjoy the fact that it is less filtered than other beers, with a nice amount of sediment left at the bottom. It is a perfect summer beer and one that I can drink consistently and not get sick of. Easy drinking, Selective filtering
Excellent – pale ale is a great beer to enjoy one of or many at a pub or party.definately thumbs up coopers on a great tasting beer. great beer to enjoy in an ice cold stubbie or even better on tap only downfall is not enough pubs have it on tap
Excellent – All I can say is I like everything about this beer. It's smooth, has a great flavor and mouth feel without being too strong, and doesn't leave any odd after taste in your mouth. The only negatives, and they are minor, are that there's not as much yeasty sediment as there used to be, and the head retention isn't as good as other beers which aren't… Read more
bottle finished. I like everything about this beer.
Fresh, not too heavy, good hops without being over bearing.
Good value, especially when bought on special or in a slab.
One of the best ways of spending a hot summer's day is with a Coopers Pale Ale.
Not much sediment in the bottle, even though it's bottle finished. Not as yeasty as it used to be.
OK – If I wanted a carton or slab of beer, and there wasn't any other choice available, except this, then I might consider buying it. I wouldn't drink a lot of it though, as it is a bit flat compared to other brands. It's not a bad product, just not really for me. A subtle, smooth beer for people who don't like overpowering strong brews. Not a beer I would drink often. Tastes a bit flat to me, but that's a matter of preference.
