Description
110 years of Contreras in a 190 year old brewery. In 1818 Brewery Latte was founded as a typical farm-brewery. In the second half of the 19th century the company was led by Valère Latte who sold the brewery in 1898 to René Contreras. In 1920 René Contreras chose to sell his brewery to his nephew Marcel Contreras. it was Marcel who would transform the brewery into a modern 20th century company. He shaped the buildings as they currently still remain. In 1982 Marcel's son Willy became the sole manager of the brewery. At the start of the 21st century Ann Contreras, the only daughter of Willy Contreras, and her fiancée Frederik De Vrieze gradually took over the daily management of the brewery.

Flasche (33 cl). - Goldbraun, reichlich beigefarbener Schaum. Antrunk karamelmalzig: Keks, Brotkruste, deutlich karamelsüß; zurückhaltende obergärige Fruchtnoten, mit ganz leichter pikanter Säure abgeschmeckt. In der Mitte etwas Gemüseartiges, das aber den guten Eindruck nicht nachhaltig stört. Im Abgang pfefferminzartig kühle Hopfenherbe. - Sehr angenehmer Belgier, der mich entfernt an ein fränkisches Landbier erinnert.

Bottle. Pours slightly hazy golden with airy but stable off-white head. Clear aroma of flowers and hops with mild citric notes. Bitter, hoppy flavour with subtle fruity hits, growing more pronounced and enhanced by caramel malt notes towards the finish. A mild touch of aniseed. Bitter but unobtrusive aftertaste. Decent.

Bottle. Pours slightly hazy amber with abundant, stable but airy off-white head. Clear aroma of fruit, malt and caramel with regular hoppy notes. Bitter, hoppy flavour with notes of caramel malt and fruit. Bitter finish with a slightly metallic aftertaste. Good, but would be better without the metallic touch.

Bottle, many thanks to bartlebier. Golden color with thick white head. Sweet malt, honey, Belgian yeast in aroma. Taste, sweet malt, some fruits. Alcohol is well hidden. Aroma is more promising than taste, but overall drinkable beer.
