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.

Crushed with Jakebra. Apparently better on tap, but this in’t bad at all. Malt, hops, bit of poop on the nose. Flavor has much more hops and malt, with much less poop. Excellent amber, which I haven’t had the pleasure of saying very often.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Gilly’s, 4/7/09

Aroma: Honey, floral, fruity
Appearance: Amber color, 2 inches of white head
Flavor: Mostly sweet, nice balanced beer, pine hops release as it warms
Palate: Drinks pretty easily, smooth, creamy taste
Overall Impression: This is a pretty nice, interesting beer, not exactly as hoppy as you might have expected. Kind of flatter then I expected, a nice beer though.

12 ounce bottle. Very solid hops aroma. Great hoppy pine taste. I could take down a lot of these beers. Very delicious. Would buy again soon

From bottle. Deep amber colour with a decent frothy white head. Sweet, fruity aroma with berries and raspberry maybe. Smooth texture. Slight tangy finish. Rich flavour of honey, berries, malt and hops. Nice.

Has a nice and easy brown color. Smells of sweet old hops. Has a nice hoppy flavor. Nice aftertaste in the end. This is a smooth hop beer. It’s almost so smooth that it makes me think this is a light hop beer. Good job though.

Bottle. Big head laces immediately. Particularly fruity nose, orange and maybe cherries, well supported by hops. Flavor though is somewhat muted at first, perhaps because it is fresh from the fridge, but it is increasing as I drink. Kind of creamy actually - not the texture I was expecting, but nice. Enjoyable. Thought it would be hoppier.
