COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Agent Provocateur is a strongly hopped beer - a hybrid of an IPA and a Belgian golden ale. Bright, colourful notes of exotic fruits (pineapple, grapefruit and lime) and spices give way to a solid, long bitter finish. This beer is an excellent aperitif and goes perfectly with spicy food. Brewed by Craig Allan @ De Proef

gEUS (573) - Linden, BELGIUM - MAR 18, 2012
33cl bottle - pours clear golden with a firm white head. Nose of peach, some banana with a clear malty coating. Malt flavour (nread and some yeast) is definitely coming back. Very gentle body all the way through with a slide bitter and dry finish. After 30 seconds, the malt is coming back again (as if one was eating fresh malt - e.g. with Moeder Lambic, they serve it with the beer...

tderoeck (3000) - Gent, BELGIUM - JAN 9, 2012
27/12/2011 33cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker) @ home - BB: 15/9/2013 (2011-735)

Note: somehow I forgot to enter this rating, in 2011. Oh well.

Bit cloudy orange beer, small yellowish head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: lots of citrus fruits, some grapefruit, yeasty touches. MF: good carbon, medium to full body. Taste: citrus start, some pinapple, sour lemony touches, bitter hops, bit chemical. Aftertaste: bitter and dry, not a single trace of fruitiness any more, traces of band-aid, pretty faint. Aroma is very promising, but the flavour disappoints.

Tim Webb (196) - Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, ENGLAND - JAN 7, 2012
75cl bottle from the beer store in Cassel, where the brewery may end up some day. A dead ringer for Saison Dupont. Mixed hop aroma, big aromatic hopping, firmly tioned malt based - a delight to drink. of the best. A lesson in why to buy local, perhaps?

suprchunk (1393) - Heinsberg, GERMANY - DEC 20, 2011
Golden, fizzy pour. Big off-white head that sticks around for a bit. Little bit of lacing left behind. Smells like a Saison; malty, sour, earthy, yeasty. A little bit of a hop presence. Tastes like a Saison; very dry, little bit of malt, tiny bit of hop presence again. A little bit of bitterness, not much. Carbonic. This could not be further from the description.
