Ghent noose
Gentse Strop - A beer with a story.
Taste experience
A fruity and complex aroma with notes of banana, citrus, spices, yeast, honey and sweet malt. After the
first sip gives a refreshing feeling in the mouth, with a pleasant flavour of malt, followed
by spicy and yeasty notes. The beer has a medium-long finish with a mild hop bitterness.
Description
Gentse Strop owes its name to the proud Gentenaars, nicknamed "noose bearers". When the Gentenaars refused to pay extra war taxes in 1540, Charles V ordered the notables of Ghent to go around with a noose around their necks, as a sign that they deserved the gallows. To this day, the noose is the symbol of proud resistance to any form of tyranny and misplaced authority. Gentse Strop is a tribute to everyone who takes pride to heart...
