The flavour of Rebelse Strop is captivating and changes as time passes, thanks to its characteristic Brett yeast. When still young, Rebelse Strop has a more complex flavour, with fruity aromas, a subtle bitterness from hops and a slight acidity. After a few months, Rebelse Strop develops a softer and fuller flavour.

The story of Gentse Strop has its origins in the time of Charles V and the famous 'noose bearers' of Ghent. When the inhabitants of Ghent refused to pay extra war taxes, Charles V punished them by making them walk through the city with a noose around their necks, as a symbol that they deserved the death penalty. But the proud people of Ghent did not allow themselves to be intimidated and refused to give in to Charles V's tyranny. The noose thus became the symbol of their resistance. Proud, stubborn and full of character... This applies not only to the Gentenaars themselves, but also to Ghent Noose and Rebel Noose!
