Coopers Vintage Ale 2014

[mosto]

See Coopers have released the 2014 version. Actually polished off the last bottle of a six pack of the 2013 the other night, really enjoyed that version. Looking forward to this one.

Does anyone know if they use the standard coopers yeast in the vintage?

An excellent beer, called into Young and Jacksons a while back, delighted to see it on tap, disappointed that it was served cold :unsure:

Got a whole carton of the 2013 here waiting to be consumed, might be time to add another to the collection cheers.for the info.

I reckon its the best Vintage release since the 2011. Should age very nicely.

Had this on Saturday - for an 'English Ale' wasn't very 'English' - if that makes any sense.

Grabbed a six pack a couple of weeks ago. A nice beer, but not as good as 2013 IMO.

Had one out the bottle and thouroughly enjoyed it, but didn't get the same experience on tap. Normally the other way round, go figure. Might have to get a carton for cellaring. Yeah right, it'll age 2 weeks........OK, 1 week.

I find them a little underwhelmimg when young. Put some away for 3-6 months and let me know.

I can tell you that the Batch 3 Vintage is starting to taste oxidised (cardboard) now (but was nicer when young), but the batch 2 is still nice, but was ordinary when young
