I'm pretty new at homebrewing (batch #5 brewing now) and the Coopers Real Ale is the best thing I've found so far.

I use a can of Coopers
3# Light Hopped DME
1oz Liberty Hops (3aau) at 10min

Let it sit in the bucket for 2 weeks, and bottle condition for 4, and I'd put it up against any specialty beer I can get at my favorite party store.

Im one of those Canadian canned kit brewers. Ive made about a dozen coopers real ale kits. Usually for those ones I add about half malt extract and half liquid brewing sugar (1.5 to 2 LBS each) usually makes a pretty good brew. Some people say that using just sugar with these kits will cause a cider taste but I have made some cooper draft kits with 3LBS of glucose and it has produced a nice light tasty beer. Im not sure if it has proper balances or proper body but I find it tastes pretty darn good. Alost all the toher canned kits i use a combination of malt extract and sugar - hope that helps!
