Coopers Mild Ale offers a unique take on traditional Australian mild ale, brewed by Coopers Brewery in South Australia. Known for their commitment to quality, Coopers has created a 3.5% ABV mild ale with real character, featuring a selection of high-quality barley and wheat malts without added sugar. The brewing team achieves a balanced taste profile through a triple hopping process, combining the classic bitterness of Pride of Ringwood hops with the mild spiciness of Saaz hops. This balanced approach has made Coopers Mild Ale a popular choice for those seeking a mid-strength craft beer that doesn’t compromise on flavour.
