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.

Közepes habja sokáig megmarad. Szép rézvörös színe van. Közepesen intenzív, fűszeres, gyümölcsös illat. Lágy fűszeres ízvilág, közepes komlós keserűsség, jelzés értékű karamell. Közepesen testes.

500ml bottle. Pours chestnut brown with a small white head. Not much aroma, but what there is is caramel and a little fruit. Taste is a bit harsh, metallic with caramel in there too. Ok

500ml bottle from Aldi - seeing as it was only £1.25 I thought I’d give this a kick. Not the worst thing I’ve had, but a bit old hat. Rich ruby body, thin white head. Nose is rich fruits, malt and toffee. Taste is quite overpowered with malt, a little lingering hoppiness at the end. Okay beer really.

500ml bottle into pint glass. Sweet malt nose, a little smoky, a touch of spice. Shiny bronze beer with frothy white head. A couple of bubbles. Slight zing in the mouth. Medium body with traces of malt. Finish has just enough hops to make you want another. Dark fruits make an appearance late on. Excellent bitter, well balanced.
