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 shared during Scopey’s 5K tasting - Croydon, London. Cheers! Pours cloudy, dark gold with a creamy white head. The nose holds rich pale bread, yeast, florals. Medium sweet flavor, quite hoppy, with notes of pine, some alcohol, dank grass. Medium to full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Warming finish rich citrus fruits. Not bad overall.

bottle from saveur-biere. Hazy golden with a tall white head. Malty base, some unexpectedly weak and shy hop flavours. Quite subtle, not as hoppy as expected.
