One of our founders "studied" in Sicily. Nearby was a beach called Mondello where the locals spent their free time. This beer takes inspiration from that place with an infusion of blood orange and bright, fruit-forward hops like Idaho 7 and El Dorado.

330ml can. Pours a bright cloudy golden-amber with decent white top. Aroma is grassy with blood orange and zesty grapefruit. Its bittersweet with a stewed blood orange, grapefruit, lime. Quite nice although lacks a touch in the finish. Medium bodied, soft carbonation.

Fluffy white head over veiled ochre-golden beer. Citrus is unmistakable; other grains also obvious, muesli. Faint cake bottom flavour, citruspeel. Blood orange is certainly believable; preserved citruspeel as well. Good carbonation, at least medium bodied and quite slick. Nice, but nothing stellar.

33cl can, BB 04/10/2024.
Pâle, léger voile, col épais crémeux blanc.
Arôme est frais, mentholé, orange, melon, pointe d’ananas avec un léger effet thé noir en rétro-nasal, fruits à noyaux dont la pêche.
Palais est sur une solide IPA classique – tropicale, pêche, agrumes, petite note malt caramel avec effet barbe à papa. Floral dont un effet pot-pourri, ananas qui donne une fine note acidulée, léger pin voire résine en toute fin de bouche.

One of Stroom's newer beers, a kveik IPA hopped with Magnum, Idaho 7, Triskel (a somewhat obscure French variety developed in 2006) and El Dorado. Can from the Hopduvel, since a couple of years located in a much more spacious shop at the Dok Noord site (and in that sense, perhaps, deserving of a new place rating here?). Thick and frothy, egg-white, regularly shaped, densely moussy, firm head on a hazy apricot blonde robe with pale orangey glow. Aroma of orange zest, rambutan, kumquat, green mango, unripe pineapple, indeed some blood orange, lime blossom, lemongrass, apricot purée, maguey leaf, lychee, meringue. Fruity, crisp, juicy onset, sweetish with a sourish undertone, finely but quite actively carbonated for a hazy IPA with some minerally side effects; carambola, lychee, some mango and outspoken citrusiness (pomelo, kumquat) accompany a soft-edged, 'full' maltiness with a doughy and wheaty character. There is a crisp citric-sour edge to it all, which I assume is meant to evoke the blood orange association, but the sultry, overly juicy sweet-sour flavour of actual blood orange is kept relatively subtle. The hops provide a brightly tropical-citrusy finish, adding a soft but long and effective bitterness to a wave of yellow-fruity and lemongrassy aromas, where citrus keeps dominating the sweetness of tropical fruit. The kveik does support the exuberant fruitiness but does so in a 'controlled' and measured kind of way which does not overwhelm the hops, so in spite of the blood orange tag and the kveik, this remains, in its essence, a citrusy, radiant hazy IPA, maintaining enough bitterness to keep it interesting and refreshing. All things considered, this is actually a really good 'Ghentian' fruit IPA even with Dok's stiff competition in the backyard - and to me one of Stroom's finest so far.
