Description
Though one is from America and the other from Belgium, the story of Stroom started in Kyrgyzstan where the two founders met over a decade ago. Years later Farrell’s experience with brewing and love of craft beer and Carl’s history as a life-long Gentenaar and entrepreneur brought them together to form a brewery in Gent.

Farrell’s home town back in Colorado was named after the confluence of the Colorado and Grand rivers. As luck would have it, Gent is also named after the confluence of two rivers, one of which runs right past the brewery. It was playing with this happy coincidence that brought us to Stroom – a place for creative connection.

Clear gold blond beer, small creamy off-white head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: nice, quite some tropical fruits, citrus notes, little floral, mango, oranges. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: nice, fruity, good bitterness, orange peel, bit floral, juicy, resinous. Aftertaste: bitter, very resinous, fruity touch, dry, some alcohol touch, a bit dank, more citrus, grapefruit, bit sourish, nice stuff!

4/VII/21 - sample on tap @ DOK bierfestival (Ghent), BB: n/a (2021-575) Thanks to the GBV-crew for sharing today’s beers!
Ap: 8/10, Ar: 5/10, T: 6/10, P: 6/10, Overall: 5.5/10. Total: 5.9/10

Clear blond yellow beer, small creamy white irregular head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: diacetyl, very buttery, tropical fruits, mango, some lychee. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: nice, very fruity, oranges, soft bitterness, orange peel, some diacetyl, mango flavoured yoghurt. Aftertaste: some citrus, more mango, lots of yoghurt, some diacetyl, fruity, good bitterness, pretty dry finish. Nice base beer, but way too much diacetyl. Really ruins the beer for me. I hope it was only because it was too young… ?
