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.

At a tasting, thanks Tom, sallish creamy head, hazy golden to light orange colour, ysty saison aroma with some citrus and flower, soapy bitterness, some fruitiness and a touch of malt in the back. Drinkable but not too exciting.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Noam’s office. Thanks Tom L. Clear golden with a white head. Pleasant floral and citric aroma, hoppy and yeasty, with some fruitiness and light spiciness. Flavor has a bit of sweetness, yeast, fruitiness, some hops, mild spicy notes and a moderately bitter finish. Medium-bodied. Decent.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of malt, straw, and spicy hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, over ripe fruits, and spicy hops, leading to a bitter finish.

Bottle from Drinkmonger. Hazy golden body with a large off-white head. Lively carbonation. Excellent lacing. Aroma of sour lime, grapefruit, lemon juice and cream soda. Flavour of pineapple and tangy yeast with the faintest hint of spice. Medium body with a dry, sticky mouthfeel. Nice fizz. A citrus explosion not quite balanced out by the Belgian yeast and spice notes.

330ml bottle from Great Grog. Pours clear amber, thick white head. Aromas are surprisingly light, citrus and pine, some yeast. Taste is balanced, but I expected more oomph! Perhaps the bar was set to high with the Cuvee d’Oscar thing, which was amazing. This is just good, in comparison.

Thanks to ThirstyBird. Nose is hoppy-malty. The beer starts quite malty, the hop-aroma comes there second, but not too intense. The bitterness is there before the hop-aroma, Slightly sweet. The aftertaste is long, a bit sweet, but the hop-aromatic is too low. Bitter aromatic finish! --> nice IPA, but could be much more hop-intense beside the nice bitterness!! --> 8/12/8/8
