Australian Sparkling Ale, sometimes called Adelaide Sparkling Ale, is a beer style once popular in Australia, especially in the Adelaide area. Today, the only widely available commercial example is Coopers Sparkling Ale.
Australian Sparkling Ale is a refreshing, golden to red ale that is top-fermented, dry-hopped and lagered for a clean, light flavor. Sparkling ale is bottle-conditioned to a high degree of carbonation, and the yeast is sometimes intentionally roused before serving, giving the beer a hefeweizen-like cloudiness in the glass. This style was sometimes known as Sugar Beer in Australia because of the priming sugar that was used to start the secondary fermentation.
