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.

Hazy greenish brown. Tan head. Molasses, sugar cane, honey, white flowers, dates, a tinge of spearmint. Powerful yet soft and delicate. Long finish with litlle bitterness.

330ml bottle. Minimally cloudy, orangey, faint golden colour with average to huge, frothy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Rather expressionless, citrusy and minimally grassy-herbal hoppy aroma, mayhap a touch of lime and lemongrass with goodwill. Taste is dry, slightly grassy and fruity hoppy, notes of green apple, apple parings, minimally bready, sweet-ish caramel malty basis. Slightly monotonous and anaemic. Provokes if anything indifference, given that this oxymoronic conclusion is allowed.

Nice weizenbock. Light citrus aroma with some underlying florals. Pours hazy reddish with decent head and lacing. Some tang in finish. Good package, and more than just a wheat beer.

Flaska från Saveur-biere. Ljust gyllenfärgad, disig högt ljus skum. Fin frisk fruktighet, lätt och ganska torr. Känns som både vetemalt och lite brett utan att vara det. Citrusfrisk, gräs, lite jäst. Riktigt fin.
