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.

Flaska från SB. Det är svårt att förstå tanken med den här drycken. En överhumlad veteöl? Cuvée av vadå. En VeteIPA skulle jag nog kalla det eftersom den är så kraftigt humlad. Men balansen saknas helt. Väldigt jordig och träig, lätt syrlig och rejält besk. Torr trevlig som måltidsdryck men lite konstig smakbild och sträv rå beska. Ser på äldre omdömen att de är mycket positivare så kanske har den här batchen inte blivit helt lyckad.

330ml bottle from Raccines, Cassel. Pours a slightly hazy amber with frothy white head. Aroma is lemon citrus. Taste is hay, biscuit, brett, citrus, funk and lemonade with fair carbonation. Not sure where the ’flower power’ bit comes from but this is alright.
