Description
Now the "largest of micro-breweries", Coreff has been perpetuating the spirit of the English master brewers since 1985, doing it in its own way, between absolute demand for quality and zero fuss.

In 1985, it actually took courage, and a lot of conviction, to launch a Breton beer with a Breton name (Coreff = beer in Breton). When from the 1990s, the tide turns and announces the revival of Breton culture, Coreff naturally benefits. Even today, drinking Coreff is a militant gesture (or militrant as we say at Coreff). Against the standardization of taste and for a different conception of consumption.

Found randomly at a Parisian bio supermarket - they all stock different things! Pours with just enough head and a very light yellow body, closer to clear than I’ve seen in many beers. Aroma is dough, corn, fermenting hay. Taste is pea soup, green beans, grass, hay. Not really my thing, a bit too heavy on the vegetables.

Amber-brown body and a big off-white head. Aroma of spices, barley, and alcohol. Taste is spices and barley, with a watery palate. Nothing to see here, move along, but it’s not awful or anything.
