Troon — In all Seriousness 24.02.26 (2024)

Technical Details

Tasting Profile

In all Seriousness 24.02.26 pours dense and hazy, a glowing golden-orange with a pillowy white crown. The aroma leads with bright citrus zest, ripe mango, and crushed pineapple, layered over peach nectar and a whisper of dank, resinous hop oils. The palate is plush and soft, almost creamy, carrying juicy tropical fruit and tangerine through a hop-forward finish that stays remarkably smooth for the elevated ABV. Bitterness is restrained, letting the fruit-driven character lead while subtle dankness lingers. A serious double hazy from Troon, balancing intensity with the quiet confidence of practiced craftsmanship.

Food Pairing

Pair with grilled mango-glazed shrimp tacos, where the tropical fruit notes mirror the IPA’s juicy hop character and lift its soft mouthfeel. Alternatively, try a creamy burrata with prosciutto and stone fruit; the richness tames the dankness while peach and citrus notes echo the beer’s vibrant aromatics.

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.
