COOPER’S
SPARKLING ALE
Australia

---

This Australian
ale is called
"sparkling"
because, by
British ale
standards, the
carbonation is
intense. Which
means it is
about as fizzy
as the average
Aussie lager,
which is brewed
with higher
carbonation
because the beer
is invariably
served at near
freezing
temperatures.
Cooper’s
Sparkling is far
from the average
Aussie lager,
though. It is
bottled “live”
with active
yeast, giving it
a cloudy
appearance and a
heady, cidery
edge. Malt
flavors are
subdued and
hopping is
minimal, making
it a refreshing
choice in hot
weather. Best
served cold, it
is an
interesting
alternative to
Champagne. Y800
at Black Lion
in Meguro.
