Beer #212 - Courage Directors

Formerly one of the UK’s largest breweries, the Courage brand is now owned by Wells & Young’s in Bedfordshire.  This beer was originally produced exclusively for the directors of the company but was soon made available publically, and it remains one of the country’s biggest selling ales (at least according to Wikipedia).  It’s hard to believe that this brew bears much resemblance to the original brew unless the directors had terrible, terrible taste. It looks quite nice on the pour but its all downhill from there. It’s very thin on the palate, over-carbonated (out of the bottle, at least) and apart from a bit of reasonable maltiness it’s a very standard supermarket bitter. Meh.
