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.

Draught at La Fine Mousse, Paris
Hazy amber color with generous compact head. Very nice hop aroma, not just fruity, but there is also a pungent touch. Dry mouthfeel, little malt flavor, good bitterness level, the hops provide some nice fruity note but less than expected; medium-long final, drier.
Good summer beer (American Pale Ale).

375 c&c from La Cave à Bulles. Opens with a sigh. Pours hazy dark brown with a decent creamy beige head. Aroma of yeast and hop. Full bodied. Flavor is yeast/bread/hop. It really doesn’t taste like a wheat beer. It’s a Belgian that’s sort of earthy. The NS isn’t really standing out, but it’s certainly detectable. Maybe it is standing out. It’s revealing a fair amount of fruit. This is dry stuff, but imagine fruit spread thinly on dark bread. This stuff is redoubtable. Changes. Very flavorful.
