The stars of the show with this beer are the hops: Chinook for a complex bitterness, Columbus for dank notes, Mandarina Bavaria for tangerine and complex floral citrus, and Citra for the big tropical / citrus punch! We think this beer strikes a perfect balance between big juicy flavor and a clean dry finish.

Solid offering overall. Not particularly ‘west coast’ but it’s a nice and dry IPA. Some pine needles, dried citrus peel, lean pale malts. Good balance, quite clean and drinkable.

33cl can, merci Tim, BB 30/04/2025. Une classique de Stroom qui est même disponible en supermarché à Bruxelles.
Dorée, col épais crémeux blanc.
Arôme est d’emblée chargé en parfum d’agrumes et de zestes divers – pamplemousse et mandarine, ainsi que du tropical avec l’apport de la mangue en purée et du coing. Touche de résine en rétro-nasal avec un appui malté belge dont le pils et caramel.
Palais est plaisant, crisp, pas mal d’agrumes – pamplemousse, petite douceur rappelant le coing, purée de mangue, mandarine avec une touche délicate de résine en fin de bouche avec un léger herbacé, et un fini malté pils crisp. Simple, mais je la trouve franchement bien ficelée pour une IPA classique sans le besoin de faire du haze.
