Gentse Strop is a blonde ale from Brouwerij Roman in Oudenaarde, a family brewery tracing its history to 1545. Bottle-fermented and hoppy, this beer showcases fruity aromas of banana and citrus, with subtle spice notes woven through.

The palate opens refreshingly, balancing grain and yeast character without excessive sweetness. A gentle hop bitterness runs through the finish, delivering a clean, dry conclusion. At 6.9% ABV, it drinks lighter than its strength suggests, making it both characterful and approachable.
