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.

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.

33cl can, BB ?, merci à Tim!
Dorée, col fin blanc.
Arôme est délicat avec de fins effluves 'sour' repris de suite par un apport un peu ananas fermenté - le tout avec une note d'agrumes et léger parfumé floral en rétri-nasal.
Palais est finement sour avec l'apport de la levure mais aussi par le caractère d el'ananas. Cela reste plaisant sans verser dans une 'sour', ici c'est délicat et conserve tout de même une base belge qui se ressent dans l'usgae de malt pils et froment. In fine, cela navique entre une Berliner et une bière belge.

28/II/25 - 33cl can from the brewery, shared @ home, BB: 10/I/26 (2025-151)

Clear pale yellow beer, big slightly irregular white head, pretty stable, non adhesive. Aroma: sulphur, some citrus, yeasty, CO2, hay, some barnyard, a little herbal, a hint of citrus, more sulphur. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: a bit sourish up front, slightly lemony, more of that sulphur, pretty bitter, a little medicinal, almost metallic touch, grassy notes. Aftertaste: more lemony, a soft acidity with some bitter herbal notes, some arrowroot, sulphur again, metallic finish, not very good alas.

12/II/25 - 33cl can @ De Trollekelder (Gent), BB: 29/XI/25 (2025-132)

Clear dark brown beer, creamy beige head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: nice, lots of caramel, a bit oxidized, malty, a bit nutty, earthy, gentle roast, some hazelnuts. MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: lots of alcohol, gentle roast, lots of whisky, a bit sweet, some caramel, bitter, hoppy, more alcohol. Aftertaste: gentle roast, hoppy bitterness, pretty dry, lots of whisky, alcohol, malty, a bit sugary, nice one, but could do with some ageing I recon.

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.
