Agent Provocateur is a Belgian style golden ale brewed with floral and citrus aromatic American hops. The Amarillo and Cascade hops combined with a small amount of light crystal malt give an orange marmalade character that melds with the Belgian yeast spiciness to give a complex, aromatic beer.

Murky orangish color with a white head with good duration. Aroma has notes of floral hops with some yeasty hints. Flavor is slightly bittery at the beggining with light sweetness and fruity notes on palate. Mild bitterness in the final with a light dry mouthfeel.

Bottle at Le Supercoin, Paris on 29th November 2014. Pours hazy copper with off-white head and initial lacing. Richly hoppy and spicy aroma. Grassy, herby hops in-mouth. Citric and grassy hoppiness in finish. Zingy mouthfeel and fair amount of body.

Bottle at the Dirty Old Sock Tasting, Den Haag, December 2014. Poured a clear straw colour with a frothy white head. The aroma is fresh hops, light marzipan. The flavour is moderate bitter with a dry mineral spicy hop bitter palate with a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Apparently brewed in Belgium for / by a Scottish brewer living in France, if I am correctly informed... Regular, brightly white, mousse-like head, colour a pure golden blond, clear but misty after addition of the ’fond’. Nose gets apple, unripe peach, orange peel, wheat, bread, honey and grassy hops; taste a nice rounded dryish fruitiness in onset, fresh citrus notes, in the middle a soft, somewhat caramel-like maltiness and gently spicy yeastiness but otherwise a bit neutral, finishing grassy and slightly spicy bitter (hops) with mineral undertone. Not much of an IPA in my opinion, rather a typical Belgian blonde ale of medium strength. Not bad, though.

Clear golden color, small white head. Belgian yeasty, strong grassy hoppy aroma. Slightly earthy. Light to medium-bodied. Strong grassy hoppyness, fruity, a bit alcoholic and earthy flavor. White peppery too. A bit strange for a De Proef belgian ale.
