Coopers Pacific Pale Ale
The brewery's first dry-hopped beer, launched as Session Ale in 2017 and renamed since. Late hopping and dry hopping with Galaxy, Vic Secret and Melba put passionfruit, mango and citrus peel in the aroma, where the older ales rely on yeast esters instead. The malt is deliberately light, and the beer stays pale and cloudy from conditioning in the can. Bitterness is moderate and clean, the body slim, the finish short and dry.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Coopers Pacific Pale Ale
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
