Troon — Snoozing Altitude (2025)

Technical Details

Tasting Profile

Snoozing Altitude pours a dense, opaque haze with a pillowy white crown, releasing an immediate rush of tropical fruit and citrus aromatics. The nose layers ripe pineapple, juicy mango, and fresh peach over a subtle dank, resinous undercurrent. On the palate, this Imperial Hazy IPA delivers a remarkably soft, plush mouthfeel that carries waves of orange zest, guava, and stone fruit nectar. Hop-forward yet balanced, the finish trends toward gentle bitterness with lingering tangerine and tropical pulp. A quintessential Troon double hazy: expressive, juicy, and dangerously drinkable despite the elevated strength.

Food Pairing

Pair with grilled mango-glazed jerk chicken, where the spice and fruit echo the IPA’s tropical hop character. Alternatively, try aged sharp cheddar or a creamy burrata drizzled with chili oil and citrus zest, allowing the beer’s soft mouthfeel and juicy bitterness to cut through richness while amplifying fruit-forward notes.

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.
