Unfiltered and Naturally Conditioned – The Coopers Signature

Coopers Sparkling Ale is bottle-conditioned, meaning it undergoes natural fermentation in the bottle without filtration or pasteurization. This process:

• Preserves the beer's fresh, vibrant character
  

• Produces a natural cloudiness (a signature of Coopers)
  

• Enhances depth, mouthfeel, and complexity over time

Every sip delivers a lively sparkle on the tongue – hence the name “Sparkling Ale”.

Tasting Notes – Rich, Fruity and Well-Balanced

This ale boasts a golden-amber hue, a frothy white head, and sediment at the bottom, which beer lovers often swirl gently before pouring.

Flavor profile:

• Aromas: Fruity esters, apple, and a hint of malt
  

• Taste: Full-bodied with rich malt sweetness, subtle bitterness, and a crisp, dry finish
  

• ABV: 5.8% – a stronger brew that remains smooth and drinkable
  

It’s the perfect balance between tradition and strength, making it a go-to choice for those who prefer more character in their beer.

🇦🇺 A True Aussie Classic Since the 1800s

Brewed by Coopers Brewery, the oldest family-owned brewery in Australia (since 1862), this ale represents more than just good taste – it represents heritage.

Coopers Sparkling Ale is often dubbed “The Red Label” due to its iconic red bottle label, and has been proudly 100% Australian-made and owned for over 160 years.
