This is outstanding. It pours an almost copper red and gives of huge hop notes. The mouthfeel shows hops and citrus and it finishes with a dense hop flavor along with a lighlt bitter finish.

Mar 1, 2010 Sixth barrel on tap. One of my favorite Amber Ales. Very nice hop flavor and finish with a nice floral aroma. However, the hops are also nicely balanced by the caramel malt character of the brew and the malts don’t take over the finish as they do in other ambers I’ve tried. I’m a fan of MANY independent brews, but I keep HopBack around all the time!

Feb 19, 2010 12oz. brown bottle.
One of the prettiest looking pours i have seen.
A deep red color and a gorgeous thick and creamy head that is very lacey.
Has a hoppy floral smell to it.
Not overwhelming hoppy as far as taste. It is very very smooth drinking with a slight caramel flavor to it and very subtle spiceyness.
This is a very tasty and very drinkable brew.
This is my first sample of anything from Troegs but i really like the mouthfeel and flavor and the way it finishes.
90/100

Feb 19, 2010 If you like hoppy flavored beer (which i don’t) you will love this beer and this brewery. For me the hops was to much, didn’t enjoy it at all.

Feb 18, 2010 Bottle. Great beer. Really pushes the hop barrier on the Amber Ale categorization. Quite hoppy aroma, floral. Flavor is a bit more balanced. Some nice, sweet, caramel malt character along with substantial hop presence. Medium in body. Crisp, hoppy finish. Tasty stuff.

Feb 16, 2010 Sampled at Central New York Brewfest, Syracuse NY. 06FE10.
App.: Clear amber with white rim.
Aroma: Some nice C-hops, lots of earthy, nutty, British malts, there’s a weird note of shit (honestly).
Palate: Medium body, moderate effervescence.
Flav.: Better than the nose with very juicy grapefruit hops, pine, some decent malts, good on the whole; off-dry with decent bitterness and a hoppy finish.
Mouth trumps nose (phew!).

Feb 13, 2010 Strong hoppy aroma, very clean finish that differentiates this from many stong hop beers . Nice amber to orange, deep color. Satisfying beer

Feb 12, 2010 Color is a beautiful, rich, orangy amber. Nice bitter aftertaste. Aftertaste is better than taste, though. Aroma is a bit weak.

Feb 8, 2010 Bottle poured into a pilsner glass produced a dark amber body with smooth, creamy, off-white head. Aroma of earthy malts and fruits. Flavor of pine, spruce, light fruits, and slightly sweet ginger with a slightly bitter finish. A perfectly balanced ale and one of Troeg’s best.
