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.

Bottled. A brown beer with a thin tan head. The aroma has otes of vinegar, malt, and caramel. The flavor is sweet and sour with notes of nuts and caramel as well as light notes of vinegar, leading to a somewhat tart finish. "Thanks" fiulijn for sharing.

Hazy blond color. Simple Ale, with light cereal touch, quite dry, and reasonable bitterness. Amazingly, it’s above the French average; still, it may be very boring.

A hazy amber beer with a brown head. The aroma is sour spicy and yeasty, combined with some notes of caramel, while the flavor is very sour - seems infected. I better visit the brewery.

(Bottle 50 cl) Hazy, dark amber with a creamy, beige head. Tart aroma with some caramel also. Roasted malt in the flavour and sourness. Most likely this is infected like way to many bottled, French microbrews. Joergen tells me that he once had this on tap at the brewery - nice and NOT infected. So it can be done... 280705

(Bottle 50 cl) Hazy, almost greyish golden with a fine head that leaves laces. Somewhat acidic aromas. Very light body albeit with some malt - and again some acidic flavours. Hoppy finish. 280705

Black color. Sour aroma (infected?), some malty sweetness. Good body, some malt, strong bitterness, but a touch of sourness as well; a note of roasted malt and caramel…
