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.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

0,5 bottle.
Deep amber, almost semi-brown in color, caramel, slightly spicy with a clean scent. Its foam is off-white, not very thick. Moderately carbonated, well sipped, well-slippery, moderately bitter, delicate, with a malty base flavor and fruity aftertaste. Floral, citrus taste, very good hops. The whole beer is very good, express delicious!

Mély borostyán, már-már félbarna szín, karamelles, kissé fűszeres letisztult illat. Habja piszkosfehér, nem túl vastag. Közepesen szénsavas, jól kortyolható, jól csúszó, közepesen keserű, finom, malátás alapíz mellett gyümölcsös mellékízek. Virágos, citrusos íz, nagyon jó a komlózás. Az egész sör nagyon jó, kifejezetten finom!

1/12/2018. Bottle from Asda, Ipswich and shared at the 1st Kesgrave 50/50 bottle share. Pours clear amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of caramel, malt, hops, fruit and biscuit. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness. Medium body, slight oily texture, soft carbonation. Malty, bitter finish. Ok.

A very good English bitter and that is a complement. Flavour and texture that derive from plenty of malt and a well balanced hoppy bitterness. And a very well made beer! I would happily drink this again.

From old tasting notes. Orange copper color is topped by a mousse-like beige head. Soft caramel malt nose. Silky smooth toasted malt flavor hints at toffee. Crisp citrus hop finish balances this ale nicely.

500ml can. Pours a clear amber with a small, creamy, short lived, off-white head that laces. Mild aroma of caramel malt and a hint of orange. Sweet flavour of bready malt, caramel and citrus with a hoppy, bitter grass finish. Light to medium body with a watery to oily texture and soft carbonation. Ok.
