Keep the bottle upright so that the yeast (secondary fermentation) remains at the bottom of the bottle. Pour in a non-greasy, well-rinsed and wet Contreras’ Especial Mars glass. Hold the glass at a 45-degree angle to pour the beer with a head of 2.5 cm, without the bottle touching the foam.

FLAVOUR AND AROMA |
floral, spicy, well-balanced beer with a bitter hop finish full of aromas and flavour |
During the British Colonial Times, the English exported beer to
India. To preserve the beer for a longer period, extra-hopped beers were
produced (hops maintain natural preservation and add bitterness to the
beer).

Brouwerij Contreras, formerly called Latte Brewery is a Belgian family brewery founded in 1818 by Valere Latte and located in the East Flemish town Gavere. The company was owned by the family when Rene Contreras Contreras it bought up in 1898. He sold the company in 1920 to his nephew Marcel Contreras. His son Willy Contreras later took over the helm. The brewery is now run by the couple Frederik De Vrieze and Anne Contreras (daughter of Willy Contreras). |
