Troon Brewing

 

I had this on draught at the Brick Farm Tavern. Pint pour served in a goblet. It pours a turbid, honey-apricot color with a foamy, bright white head and lacing that lasted through the pour. It has the classic look of a NE IPA. The smell is decadent: tangerine, melon, lemon, grapefruit, pine needles, and floral hops. The taste is equally outstanding, with the sweet tropical fruit and the sour citrus, followed by a strong dose of Citra hops. It's fresh and really good! Although it's described as a "session" beer, the 6.7% ABV gives it punch. Overall, it's a nice, NE style American IPA with great flavor and feel.
