Brew a classic traditional ale with the Coopers Real Ale beer kit. This Coopers beer kit is made to produce a bright golden beer with a strong head and a balanced, easy-drinking “real ale” character that suits a lot of palates. If you are brand new to brewing, it’s a nice confidence builder because you are aiming for clean, classic flavours, not anything fussy. For best results, Coopers recommends brewing this homebrew beer kit with Brew Enhancer 2, which helps the finished beer feel fuller and more beer-like than using plain sugar alone.

On the nose, expect a pleasant blend of light fruit and malt. The flavour has a generous mouthfeel with a smooth malt backbone, then finishes moderately bitter and refreshing, so it never comes across as sweet or heavy. Give it a bit of conditioning time and it really comes together into that classic, pub-style pint that’s easy to pour again and again.
