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 either from Saveur-Biere of Village de la Bière Strasbourg. Cloudy brown colour, mid-sized beige head. Medium-bodied, lots of dark wheat malts and a yeasty touch, plus lovely Nelson Sauvin hops adding a fruity and very slightly resiny touch. An unusual beer brewed by a Scottish brewer living in France, brewed in Belgum with hops from New Zealand.

bottle from Saveur-Biere. Hazy golden colour, small but persistant white head. Lovely hop aroma. Medium-bodied, elegant malt flavours provide a good base for the huge amount of aromatic hops that add a resiny-fruity character.

10/10/2012 Ma che siete venuti a fà (tap). Ambrata scarica, limpida, cappello di schiuma bianca abbondante e discretamente persistente. Al naso un bel bouquet intenso di malto e frutta, ananas, albicocca, con note di sciroppo d’acero e spezie. In bocca è morbida, per nulla aggressiva, con un finale forse un po’ troppo dolciastro e zuccheroso. Corpo medio-basso, carbonazione discreta. Buona.

09/10/2012 Bibere (tap). Dorata, limpida, schiuma morbida, pannosa, abbondantissima e persistente. Naso fantastico, una esplosione di luppoli di intensità incredibile: frutta tropicale, pesca, ananas e mango, note agrumato e pinose sullo sfondo. In bocca è equilibrata in maniera esemplare, si sente una nota di malto e un amaro deciso ma mai eccessivo. Corpo leggero, carbonazione corretta, grande beva. APA più che golden ale, ma veramente straordinaria.
