Troon — Come Watch me Bleed

Technical Details

Tasting Profile

The nose bursts with overripe mango, tangerine pith, and passionfruit, layered over a pillowy soft-focus haze. Dank resinous notes emerge alongside delicate white flower and subtle pine. The palate delivers lush tropical fruit intensity—guava, papaya, blood orange—balanced by a creamy, full-bodied mouthfeel and restrained bitterness that allows the hop character to shine. The finish lingers with gentle citrus oils and a whisper of herbal complexity, fading clean despite the substantial body and elevated alcohol warmth.

Food Pairing

Pair with aged cheddar or sharp Gruyère to complement the hop oils and cut through the beer’s richness. The tropical fruit profile harmonizes beautifully with spicy Thai curry or Korean fried chicken, where the creamy body soothes heat while the citrus brightness refreshes between bites.

About Troon Brewing Company

Troon Brewing Company was founded in 2012 in Hopewell, New Jersey, by husband-and-wife team Chris and Maria Henke. The brewery has built its reputation on an uncompromising commitment to traditional Belgian and mixed-fermentation brewing methods, emphasizing patience, craftsmanship, and the use of exceptional ingredients. Troon specializes in farmhouse ales, saisons, and spontaneously fermented beers, often incorporating local and foraged ingredients that reflect the terroir of their New Jersey location.

The brewery operates with a distinctly artisanal approach, brewing small batches and allowing beers to develop naturally over extended aging periods, sometimes in oak barrels. This dedication to time-intensive processes and wild fermentation has earned Troon a devoted following among craft beer enthusiasts who appreciate complexity and authenticity. The Henkes maintain a small-scale operation that prioritizes quality over quantity, with limited distribution that has only enhanced their cult status within the American craft beer community. Their farmhouse-style taproom reflects the rustic, agricultural aesthetic that informs their brewing philosophy, creating an experience that connects drinkers directly to the traditional European brewing heritage that inspires their work.
