Troon Brewing

I stand by my comments. Just make my wife happy and do Gravitational Pull regularly. :-)

 

V soft; V juicy.

Gotta say, not only is Alex making some of the best brew on the eastern seaboard, he is one of the most considerate proprietors I've ever met. I mentioned that I drove up from DC; after getting my fills, guy tosses me two gold lettered Troon glasses on the house. He should get used to the praise (and hype), cousin deserves every ounce.

 

Comma Crisis is astringent and reminiscent of Aslin. However, it’s more attuned and less harsh. So. Yes. Its good, but Soul Trap hit panorama more applicably

 

I could be totally wrong, but to me it tasted like Soul Trap was Mosaic and Citra Lupulin powder and Comma Crisis was all Galaxy.

I usually detect a dank skunky note from the aroma of beers with Lupulin powder. And Soul Trap had that. Comma was pure stone fruit so far as the nose went. Again, I could be totally off.

Anyone know for sure? Both were excellent btw.

 

I asked Alex about Soul Trap, as I was picking up Amarillo more so than Galaxy. Hence, the vague comment above. In any case, he confirmed that Amarillo was the primary hop and that Galaxy was the dry-hopped addition. Hopefully this helps -

 

Kinda surprised theres been no Mention of crowlers (at least that ive seen). Is this some big surprise Im ruining?

 

seems like it? haha... no clue last time i was there i didn't see any machine nor any mention of crowlers... i dig it though

 

Saw the pallet of cans a few weeks ago but was told this weekend that the current shipment of growlers is the last and theyll be moving to crowlers. Waiting on label approval and other stuff but should be coming soon.

 

You mean the crowlers with the black label, gold foil, and art from the original swing top growler? Nope, haven't seen or heard of them until right now.

 

Little nervous tbh. People were limited to the amount of growlers they felt like hauling in, which was generally anywhere from 1-4 in my experience at Troon. This eliminates that limitation. Don't be greedy, people!

 

Very true... don't think i ever saw anybody fill more then 3/4 growlers but with crowlers people may try to buy 8/10/12 etc

Troon may need to establish some limits if they are getting crushed week after week.and people try to take advantage... it's bound to happen at somepoint

 

Anything new this week, if anyone stopped in earlier?

 

Looks real good. Definitely going to pick some up tomorrow

 

How is the new one for anybody who tried it?

 

Drinking now and loving it. Super refreshing. Raspberry and lemon mix really well. Perfect for warm weather bbq/picnic action. May be one of my favorites from Troon. Wish I got more than a 32 oz

 

Tastes like a raspberry smoothie. Very refreshing. No sour/tartness just straight unsweetened fruit juice.

 

Had a sampler there, liked it enough to fill two 32oz. The above descriptions seem accurate based on the few oz I tried so far. Fruity, but not sweet. Definite bitterness, either from hops or the lemon zest. Lighter bodied, and will drink well in this heat.

 

First trip to Troon tomorrow, should get there around 1. From what I understand I'll be able to just get a growler fill of this?
