Description
Craig studied Malting, Brewing and Distilling science in Edinburgh, worked in several micro breweries in the UK and also for an independent malt whisky bottler. A bona fide flavour junky, he was naturally attracted to La Belle France where he worked for a few years in Burgundian wineries before settling with his French wife and family in the countryside north of Paris where he started his activities in 2010.
To get the business up and running he used the ultra-scientific, quality-driven de Proef brewery in Belgium and still uses, for the moment, this brewery for the production of the first three creations: Agent Provocateur, Cuvée d'Oscar and Psychedelia. in June 2015 a brewery installation was completed in the French farm-house where he lives.

Bottle from Hopt. Aroma is roasted malt with notes of char, chocolate, some coffee, light hoppy tone, more roast throughout. Flavour is light sweet with a roasty dry bitter finish. Body is medium, carbonation is rather lively. Roast: check. Bitterness: check. I like.

Аромат отличный, пшеница, ощущаются фрукты, включая бананы, немного пряный, естественно хмелевой. Цвет очень классный, глубокий, не фильтрованный, эдакий янтарный грейпфрут, пена дико стойкая, кремовая. Вкус не такой сильный, тело среднее, ощущается пшеница,один из видов хмеляи ( скорее всего каскад ) легкие сухофрукты. При глотке сухость и терпкость, имеется хмелевая горчинка.

Bottle at Kerelshof Cassel. Clear gold colour lasting white head. Light veg aroma. Some earthy hop. Some light vegetal flavour. Some grapefruit. It's not very good. Light vegetal aroma and flavour spoils it . Some moderate bitterness on the finish. Not for me
