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.

A nicely done amber backed up with a large amount of hops that compliments the malty body nicely. Easy to drink and enjoyable. No complaints.

Pours amber with thin off white head. Aroma of hops and malt. Taste is hops, malt, and caramel. Decent brew.

Thick, firm, beige metallic-tasting head. Dark amber body. Fruity smell that is saying drink me. Taste of hops and easy drinkin’. Beer, like other Troegs, is kind of salty. Really easy to sit around and drink this fine example of an amber ale though.

Draught Local pub just got this in. Brilliant dark copper color. Aroma mixed of hops and malt but not hop assertive as name would imply. Nice hop flavor evident but not much else. This was served way too cold.

Pour is a clear amber body with a thin but lasting tan head. Some citrus with a really nice biscuit-like malt flavor. Nice balance - easy to drink.

Pours a dark amber color with a thick and creamy off-white head and excellent lacing. This beer has a fantastic combination of citrus and floral hops, balanced with caramel malt. The hops are heavy in the aroma and palate. The finish is strong and lingering, but not at all too bitter - very well balanced beer. Another impressive beer from the Troeg brothers.

Bottle pours a bold amber color with an off white head. Has an earthy, spicy, and malty aroma. Has a medium body. Flavor is bold malt upfront with a spicy and flowery finish. Overall, the aroma was not overwhelmingly good, the flavor was just ok, and this is an overall boring beer.

12 oz. bottle. Pours red/amber, short though lasting off-white head. Slight lacing. Aroma of citrus/spice/floral, in that order,hops. Flavor is sweet caramel malt, nicely countered by mildly pungent grapefruit. Tingly on front of tongue, sweet & sour over the middle, grapefruity towards back. Medium body, dry finish. Little aftertaste of malt and citrus. Very nicely built amber ale!
