Troon — Where Can You Run To ? 14-10-25

Technical Details

Tasting Profile

The nose bursts with overripe mango, tangerine marmalade, and candied pineapple, layered over a pillowy foundation of oat and wheat. Dank resinous notes emerge alongside stone fruit and a whisper of coconut. The palate delivers viscous, juice-like texture with explosive tropical fruit character—passionfruit, guava, and apricot—tempered by gentle pine bitterness and honeyed malt sweetness. The finish lingers with moderate bitterness, leaving impressions of citrus pith, soft doughy grain, and a subtle boozy warmth that belies its substantial strength. Haze remains impenetrable throughout.

Food Pairing

Pair with Thai green curry whose coconut cream and aromatic herbs echo the beer’s tropical fruit intensity while chili heat cuts through the viscous body. Alternatively, serve alongside aged Comté or Gruyère; the nutty, crystalline cheese provides savory contrast to the fruit-forward sweetness while matching the beer’s substantial weight and complexity.

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.
