Oct 27, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a light amber color with a decent fizzy off white head that fades fast. Biscuity malt aromas with some light fruitiness as well as a slight hops. Smooth biscuity malt dominates the flavor with the hops hanging in the background until the bitter and fruity finish.

Jun 10, 2009 Imminently drinkable. Does not lunge into the pitfalls of similar beers-not too sweet, pleasing bitter, great aroma. I discovered this beer in the Young Avenue Deli in Memphis, TN. The deal was (if I remember correctly-this was several years ago) to drink ten draft pints (presumably, the intention was not all in a single trip), get a free T-shirt. I was planning to sample a variety of imports that night. I won’t say if I got the souvenier, but John Courage played a singlehanded role in the effort that evening. After the first, I lost all interest in sampling others.

Mar 17, 2009 Location:
Originally discovered this one a few years back at the Total Wine in Richmond, VA. 12 oz bottle
Overall Impression:
One of my favorite/go-to beers. Wonderfully drinkable smooth, amber beer. It really just works, and holds additional value for me, as one of my first favorite beers, hence the probably bloated rating, especially when compared to most others.

Feb 8, 2009 Called "John Courage Amber" - Norwegian Jewel cruise (in Maltings bar) - pours indeed amber, nearly still fine carbonation honeyed malts and fruit notes. Good suggestion of bitter hops slakes the thirst.

does not count  Jul 16, 2008 Thin and watery but has a great taste. Very easy to drink with a bold after taste that leaves you wanting another and another and another....
