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.

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.

33cl can, BB 14/10/2024.
Dorée, col épais crémeux blanc.
Arôme sur un houblonné plutôt floral – fleur de jasmin avec une note diacetyle de la levure américaine – effet aussi un peu sur les esters.
Palais est malté pâle/pils pour une bière naviguant entre style belge et américain. Sec sur les céréales, je peine à vraiment retrouver le côté ‘fresh hops’, et je note plutôt fermentée des houblons. Fini léger sur le caramel.
