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.

On tap at Ørsted. Look is yellowish golden with a white head. Aroma was dominated by citrus with a bitter undertone. The beer starts off fruity and builds to a nice bitterness. Very enjoyable.

At ZBF 2009, Sint-Niklaas, Belgium
Hazy blond body. Creamy white head which becomes soapy after a while (like the soap that floats around on the water in your sink when doing the dishes). Good lace however. Well balanced aroma of citrus, orange, hops. Heavily bitter, lightly sweet flavour. Longlasting, bit watery finish. Also the hoppy bitterness is somewhat astringent. Overall quite nice.

Draft. An unclear dar golden beer with an off-white head. The aroma is sweet with a slight tart note and light notes of fruit. The flavor is sweet with a nice acidic edge and fruity notes of citrus, some yeast, and herbs, leading to a quite tart finish. Lovely flavor - surprisingly boring aroma.
