Gentse Strop
Proud, headstrong, full of character. Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, gave all these attributes to the rebellious Ghent “stroppendragers” or noose-wearers. And what goes for the people of Ghent also goes for this strong blonde beer.
Nose/aromas: Relatively complex nose with hints of fruit (banana, citrus fruits), herbs, yeast, honey and sweet malt.
Flavour: Refreshing in the mouth, pleasant sweet malty attack followed by hints of herbs and yeast, medium-long finish with subtle, slightly bitter touch.

Clean crisp.
Fairly simple. Slight alchohol warmth.
Yeast plays a role.
Fizzy.
Firm head. Mild sweet smell. Mild hoppy taste. A little sweetness. Slightly dry finish. Medium body. Very acessible, easy drinkable.
Stevige Belgische ale met een perfecte balans tussen zoet en bitter. Schuimt goed en smaak blijft lang hangen.
Bottle in the pole at Coriasso's, served in a chalice glass.
Pours a pale golden colour, big head with long retention, good lacing.
Aroma of fruits, citrics, malt, yeast.
Medium body, sticky texture, good carbonation. Bitter finish.
Taste is flowery, fruity, bubblegum, citrics, notes of sherry wine. Good, but not exceptional. Way behind of a Duvel.
Having one in Gent.
Clear golden with a fast dissipating head. Sweet smell of a Belgian blonde. Sweet taste of a Belgian blonde, but not as strong as others. Almost no carbonation.
The beer is okay, but for the style I think it lacks the belgian bubblegum yeast flavours. online beerwulf bottle
Full mouth amer with some acidity, some gas nicely balanced dry finish
Aroma weak malt, some ethers. Slightly cloudy, yellow with good white foam. On the air esters, pear, a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. Medium body, large carbonation.
Citrus and honeyed nose but honeyed. nice fruit and tangy flavor but not very round. Bitter finish.
An amber, foggy Belgian Ale with very high, white head. Aroma is malt, spices, light caramel. Taste is light bitter and sweet. Pearly.
Bitter, zuur biertje. Bittere nasmaak blijft eindeloos hangen. Geen aanrader
Den Alkohol mag man wohl schmecken, aber er wird von allerlei feinen Blond-Aromen nach weihnachtlichen Gewürzen umrahmt. Einen gar "schnapsigen" Geschmack wie bei vielen besonders starken Quadrupel oder deutschen Doppelböcken gibt es gottseidenk gar nicht.
Es wird vielleicht nicht mein Lieblingsbier, aber ein gutes belgisches Blonde ist es allemal.
Bottle at Firkin Alehouse Folkestone. Clear gold colour lasting white head. Peach and banana typical Belgian yeast blond ale. With a slightly spicy hippy finish. Cereal aroma. Fine. Drinkable enough.
Lekker bier met smaken van mouten en dat van hop. In de verte is nog iets fruitigs te proeven van citrus en daarnaast iets zoets wat lijkt op honing. -backlog de BierApp-
Aardig biertje, smaakt een beetje naar gewoon pilsener maar dan wat bitterder en iets meer karakter. Maar bijzonder? Nee dat niet. Wel een mooie fles.
Jasnej, złotej barwy.
Piana obfita i trwała, zdobi szkło.
Aromat lekki i świeży. Mieszanka słodów i chmielu. Trochę słodkich owoców i cytrusów.
W smaku słodowe, przyprawowe, goryczka ziołowa.
Fles 33cl thuis. Wat zoet. Drogig, licht scherpig. (3-2013).---------------.
Bottled, 330ml at Volkscafe Sint Jacobs, Bruges, West Flanders, Belgium. Delivered to the table with the full hangman's noose rig with panache. Gold with white head. Quite a yeasty, nasal, pear drop beer, fruity banana then a honeyed note. Quite deep in flavour. It's fine.
Goudblond bier met wit schuim. Geur: mout, granen, licht hoppig, wat floraal. Smaak: licht hopbitter, ietwat gistkarakter en ietwat fruitig. Afdronk: droog, licht floraal hopbitter. Goede koolzuurprikkel. Aangenaam bier dat zweeft tussen doordrinker en degustatiebier.
.33l bottle. Hazy golden to yellow beer with thick creamy head. Taste is kinda shallow (though i drank it after a really spicy tripel). Honey, malt, floral hop. Finish is sweet and slightly bitter. Carbonation is medium to high and moutfheel is a little sticky.
Flaska på Pressklubben. Disig gul öl med ett vitt skum. Doft och smak av malt,hö, lättare örtighet och jästkryddighet. Viss alkoholsötma.
Bitter after taste with large foam head.
Usually not into hops, but this worked.
Bottle; Wilrijk.
Magnum 1,5L bottle at home. Cloudy light golden colour, big foamy whte head. Grainy, sweet malts, citrus, floral. High carbonation, medium body.
bouteille 33 cl - couleur blonde dorée, mousse blanche onctueuse, odeurs fruités, citronnée, goût houblonné, herbacé, agrumes, goûteuse et agréable
butelka/złote, klarowne, z obfitą średniopęcherzykową piana, która pozostaje w szkle do końca picia w postaci obfitego korzucha. aromat goździka, banana, słodowy, lekkie fermentujące owoce. w smaku przyprawowe, słodkie, z alkoholową goryczką na finiszu. spodziewałem się więcej
Bottle. Golden colour, hazy, rocky head that does not stay long. Aroma is apricot, a bit of herbs. Light bitterness. Too high carbonation, light body. Average.
Butelka 330ml bączek pite w domu. Złote, piana dość mocna oblepia szkło.Aromat słodowy, w smaku także słody i zioła a w tle masełko niestety, pomimo to pijalne piwko.
On tap. Solid, clean, nice, hoppy (slightly oily even) belgian ale with soft, lingering, bitter aftertaste. Simply decent...
