Coopers Ultra Light

Coopers Brewery
Australia·Alcohol-Free Lager
Tap to rate

Sold for years as Birell before it took the Coopers name, brewed from Australian malted barley, hops and yeast with nothing added. Malt carries the beer almost alone: a sweet cereal and lightly toasted grain aroma over a rich golden pour, with faint citrus and floral notes in the background. The body is fuller than the category usually manages, the bitterness mild, and the finish clean and quick with a brief echo of malt sweetness.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with malt-forward sweetness and a fuller body than typical for alcohol-free lagers, creating genuine substance on the tongue. Bitterness remains mild and integrated, never sharp. Mid-palate holds the toasted grain character while citrus and floral notes provide textural balance without dominance.
