hopIQ found 10 beers with the same banana and refreshing character as Gentse Strop. 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. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
