Belgian Blonde Ale·Belgium·6.9% ABV·One of 123 Belgian Blonde Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Gentse Strop's citrusy and bitter character. Gentse Strop has been brewed since 2011 as a tribute to Ghent. Its name recalls the noose that Emperor Charles V made the rebellious citizens wear after they refused his war taxes; the Stroppendragers, the noose bearers, later turned it into a badge of pride. The top-fermented blonde is refermented in the bottle. Banana and citrus lead the nose, with yeasty and spicy notes behind. The first sip is refreshing, and a restrained hop bitterness carries the finish.
