Coopers Clear
Thursday, February 18th, 2010
You may have noticed like I did, a new addition to your local bottle shop, Coopers Clear. It comes in an aptly chosen 355ml clear glass bottle, with gold and blue labelling. It was officially launched on the 21st January, so if you haven’t seen it already expect to shortly.
Coopers have joined the current ‘low carb’ craze which appears to be saturating the market of late. I was hesitant at first of trying this new brew probably due to the fact some of the recent low carb beers can be tasteless and watery but since drinking Coopers Clear I haven’t looked back. The family owned Coopers Company have been creating quality beer products since 1862 and this brew is said to be the beginning of their next generation of products.
Coopers Clear is a full strength low carbohydrate, dry beer aka lager. It has a light golden colour, with a quickly disappearing creamy white head that leaves a ring around the inside of your glass. There is a decent amount of carbonation in it, which adds to the taste. The taste is dry, crisp and especially refreshing – it seems like the perfect summer beer on a hot hot day. The aroma is mild with some sweet fruity undertones.
Currently there appears to be alot of dislike appearing around the place regarding this brew but I beg to differ and think it’s a refreshing summer beer that hits the spot nicely, so much so that I bought a carton of it last week for $37 from First Choice, which seemed to be a decent price. Like anything you should try this brew for yourself and at $15 a six-pack it won’t break the bank, then you can make your own mind up and leave your thoughts for others to read, cheers!
