Agent Provocateur

33cl bottle shared Dutchdrebus. Hazy cloudy yellow to light orange color, small to medium white head that fairly quickly becomes a decent white lacing. Smell malts, hops, lightly yeasty. Taste malts, hops, bitter, but pretty watery. Doesn’t taste like 6,5%ABV. Medium carbo, low to medium body. Expected this to better.

Note: somehow I forgot to enter this rating, in 2011. Oh well.

Bit cloudy orange beer, small yellowish head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: lots of citrus fruits, some grapefruit, yeasty touches. MF: good carbon, medium to full body. Taste: citrus start, some pinapple, sour lemony touches, bitter hops, bit chemical. Aftertaste: bitter and dry, not a single trace of fruitiness any more, traces of band-aid, pretty faint. Aroma is very promising, but the flavour disappoints.

Bottle from Dranken Geers, Oostakker, Nr Gent, Belgie, 12th November 2011 consumed at home 15th November 2011. Floral with a tropical edge. Touch of creamy but citrussyness to this, cream soda perhaps? Its hoppy but not overly so, soft in mouth, very pleasant beer. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.6

Cloudy light amber color; medium sized compact head. Nice aroma, fruity but delicate, light aroma of yellow jam, some animal, musk character too. The mouthfeel is light and drier than expected; delicate toffee flavor with a well balanced fruity hopping, and just dome more dry resins in the final.
Elegant beer.

Hazy amber color, with generous creamy head. Interesting to taste it side-to-side with the Psychedelia, this one evidently reveals a more complex body structure, more malt, some residual sweetness, still a good hopping level, fruity hops, but less hop character (like the pungent and sweaty mix of the Psychedelia).
Very good beer.

2011-09-06, draught at La Capsule, Lille, 7-5-7-4-15=38
Hazy amber color, bright, with medium sized compact head. Toffee aroma, with mild, citrusy hops. Good malt and toffee flavor, with moderate residual sweetness, delicate; indeed there is some similarity with the Mikkeller Single Hop ales brewed at the same facility; pleasant hopping, well balanced, elegant, never aggressive, with light resins and fruitiness.
Very nice, also for it’s rare harmony.

06/05 0.33 l bottle courtesy of Doggythedog, thanks for sharing! It poured hazy orange body with medium sized head. Very pleasant orange hop aroma, a bit of yeast. Slightly bitter flavor, smoothed with yeast and milk bread malt. May have a touch of coriander. Not heavy in body, rather thinner, with longer citrus and bread finish. A fine beer it is.

Botted 330ml. -Courtesy of Marko (thanks!), shared with heavy and him.
Slight hazy orange/golden coloured, small white head, lemony fruity nose. Lemony hoppy, slight caramel and agrumey taste with mild bitter finish. Nice one.

First missed this at the Abbaye des Saveurs in Lille, because I couldn’t carry anymore really, but thankfully found it later at Cave a Bulles in Paris. Shared with the usual suspects. POured a murky peach colour with a slightly off white head that went away slowly. Sweet aromatic hoppy nose, lime, some yeastiness, ok enough. Light soft agrumey taste, not much bitterness. Smooth, a bit light and overall nice!

Bottle at Het Oude Schooltje. It pours golden yellow, with a thick white head and moderate carbonation. The nose is American cream soda, hay, bread, grass, grapefruit, lime, orange and lemon. The taste is full of tropical fruit: mango, pineapple, orange, lemon and lime, as well as pine, grass and hay, with a satisfyingly bitter finish. A fresh and crisp hoppy belgian ale.
