Available in cask, bottles and cans, Courage Directors was originally brewed exclusively for the directors of the Alton brewery, but following demand, the beer was made available to the public. Full bodied with a clean, bitter taste, balanced with a sweet burnt, malty and fruity notes with a distinctive dry-hop aroma and flavour. Brewed with English Target hops, burnt Pale and Crystal malts.

Bottle at home, köszi anya! Copper pour, thin white head. Pleasant bready, biscuity malts, low bitterness. Light body, soft carbonation. Jól csúszik ebben a melegben.

Bottle in England. Aroma is malty, caramel, toffee, some dried fruity notes. Flavour is moderate sweet with a little bitterness in the finish. Body is medium. Malty dullness, okay at best.

Bottle BBE in 12 months. Copper pour with decent head. A mild aroma of malt and spice but it doesn't exactly pack a punch. The malt flavour comes through with hints of stone fruit and a nice earthy and spicy note. Quite sweet with a mild bitterness running through. Moderate carbonation and body. Its decent, I enjoyed it.

Thin off white head stayed on a clear tea coloured still body. Big malty aroma. Medium bodied, smooth on the front with a sharp back. Malt, berries, spices, tea & tangy fruit tastes. Classic 1980's!

behűtve nem adja ki. igazán magát. szellőztetve-sétáltatva egy kicsit már kibontakozik. a gyengéd malátás édesség. könnyed. kis angol papírszárazság. ami nedves. értitek. mer én nem. mindenesetre ízlik.
