Troon Brewing Can I Think About It | Hazy Imperial IPA New Jersey

Technical Details

Tasting Profile

Can I Think About It is a hazy imperial IPA from Troon Brewing, the cult small-batch brewery operating out of an old farmhouse in Hopewell, New Jersey. True to the brewery’s signature unfiltered approach, this beer pours a deep, opaque golden-amber with a pillowy white head that clings to the glass with satisfying retention, leaving delicate lacing on the pour. The nose is immediately expressive: waves of ripe tropical mango and passion fruit lead, followed by fresh-cut pineapple, candied citrus zest, and a whisper of stone fruit that speaks to Troon’s masterful dry-hop layering.

On the palate, the mouthfeel is plush and full-bodied — silky rather than watery — with a restrained bitterness that never overwhelms the fruit-forward sweetness. Flavours of juicy peach, nectarine, and a bright citrus backbone unfold mid-palate, with just enough resinous pine on the back end to remind you of the beer’s imperial credentials. The finish is clean, moderately dry, and invites the next sip. Best enjoyed fresh to capture Troon’s characteristic aromatic intensity.
