Fantastic all round beer that would go well with any type of seafood to red meat.
92/100 and 96 style
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 and creamy cheese.
Malts: Pale Ale, crystal and wheat
Bittering hops: Amarillo

Great desert beer with chocolate or fruit cake and baked fruit tarts
99/100 style
Cuvée d'Oscar is brewed with a high proportion of wheat malt alongside Munich, crystal and chocolate malts. The fermentation involved a special strain of yeast producing clove and banana notes.
During conditioning the beer is heavily dry-hopped with the intensely aromatic Nelson Sauvin hop variety, adding notes of Mangoes, passion fruit and gooseberries.
Malts: Wheat, Munich, Special B, Chocolate
Hops: Nugget & Galena for buttering, Nelson Sauvin for Aroma and dry hopping
