From what ive read it, it has a good balance of hops and the bitterness is probably just enough to give you a nice bite without being overbearing??Booney wrote:Got a couple down my neck at The Lakes last night, as with all Coopers products ( IMO ), quality.
Very sparkling like when it was cold out the tap, much murkier and thicker than sparkling (think the last 10% of a pint of muddy sparkling) , as it got closer to room temperature the hops came to the fore, not a lot of "bouquet" but you can smell the hops.
I'm not a real fan of the "big" hoppy beers, this one is about right for mine.

Good insight into mass production and how brewers go about creating the deliciousness that they do.

I’m keen to do this.
Whilst Pirate Life isn’t my favourite beer, I’m still keen to see the process and enjoy a few beers afterwards.

They've added some lagers to their range, giving those of us who aren't into the big heavy or hoppy beers an option. They also have some guest brewers on tap now from time to time offering more options for punters.
Tried the red ale last night, would normally baulk at a red ale, this one was most palatable on a cold night.

Yep, I'd agree with that, good description. Full on hoppy beers don't do it for me and this, while hoppy isn't over the top. I'm keen for it to hit the bottle shop shelf and nail a half dozen one Friday night in front of the footy.
