Stroom Forel is a refreshing American Wheat Beer that bridges the gap between Belgian tradition and modern American craft. Built on an even split of Pilsner malt and malted wheat, it offers a soft, bready foundation. The inclusion of Centennial and Mandarina Bavaria hops introduces vibrant layers of grapefruit and tangerine, which are further brightened by the addition of sweet orange peel. This hazy, pale gold pour delivers a zesty aromatic profile and a clean, easy-drinking character. It finishes crisp with a light citrus zest, exemplifying a balanced, fruit-forward profile without the heavy yeast phenols often found in European styles.

Aroma.Moderate bready and grainy wheat aroma. Bright citrus notes of tangerine and grapefruit from the hops are complemented by a zesty, sweet orange peel essence. Clean fermentation with no clove phenols or banana esters.
Taste.Initial bready malt sweetness transitions into a grainy, doughy wheat character. Flavors of fresh tangerine and citrus zest are prominent. Low to moderate bitterness provides balance without being sharp. Finishes dry and clean with a lingering citrus note.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with high carbonation. Displays a soft, slightly creamy and fluffy texture from the high wheat content. No perceived alcohol warmth.
