COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Troegs HopBack Amber gets its unique name and taste from the HopBack Vessel in our brewhouse. Packed full of whole flower hops, each batch circulates through the vessel, creating a fresh hoppy aroma, spicy taste and rich caramel note that defines this signature amber ale.

An excellent beer, period. Very hoppy and malty as well. Slight notes of caramel, maybe some spice. Well done Troegs!

Caramel and hops in the aroma. Caramel/toffee, bread, and spice in the flavor, followed by a nice hop bite. Really, really good.

Draft. Nice clear copper color. Poured a thicker head than most ambers. Caramel, some citrus hops in aroma. Medium bitter. Med light bodied, on oily textured side. Also slightly creamy texture. Soft carbonation. Caramel, citrus hop, and some lite biscuit bread. I like it.

Bottle. The aroma was a slight doughy with a clean muted hop finish. The tight head gave off a thick initial lacing that diminished as I drank. The dark amber body was slightly translucent with a burnt orange sheen. A medium bodied palate complimented the amber bottomed taste, heavy and sweet caramel, with the bitter hop sitting on top. It’s a sandwich of a beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy by rsully

This is my go to beer most of the time at home. Has some caramel and citrus notes in the aroma. Pours a dark copper color with a small to medium off white head. Taste of malted caramel and citrus with maybe even a hint of piney notes in the background.

Pours a clear dark copper color with a medium sized off-white head. Aroma of sweet caramel malts and grassy hops. Flavor of caramel malts, floral and citrus hops. Pretty good.
