Tröegs HopBack Amber Ale

Pours brown-amber color with small near-white head. Clean hop aroma dominated by flowers. Taste is sweet with caramel but lasting bitterness. Very drinkable if simple.

Pours a beautiful clear amber colour with a frothy beige head that leaves a thick coating of lacing as it fades. The aroma is rich with rich, earthy caramel, peppery spice, citric hops and hints of resin. The flavour is rich and chewy with a massive caramel malt backbone that balances out a very fresh tasting citric hop profile. The palate is full, moderately carbonated and a bit syrupy, with a long, sweet finish.

Deep amber color with decent head. moderate citris hoppy aroma. Resinous hops dominates a malty background. This is a gender confused beer that can’t decide if it wants to be a red ale or a pale ale. Almost like a watered down double pale ale.

pours deep amber. thin, dense tan head lingers for a while. lacing is thick at each level the beer sits at. kinda fun looking. aroma is heavy grapefruit, floral notes. caramel maltiness too. taste is rich-an onslaught of caramel maltiness followed by the floral citrus of the hops. nutty, spicy finish.

Dark amber with off-white head. Citrus floral hop aroma. Slightly malty with grapefruit/citrus hop flavor. On tap at The Shep.

Hoppy aroma with light hints of sweet malt. Red-orange color with s light amount of tan foam. Sweet malt beginning with a hoppy finish. Lightly creamy palate.

Had this beer on draft at Magoo’s. What a great beer for hop heads. Big aroma and floral flavor, funncky, sweet sour and a nice though not too bitter finish. dark amber color and good levelof carbonation and head. again in 2009, still well balanced for a well hopped ale

Pours a reddish brown with red highlights and a fair fading tan head. Smells fresh hoppy, very similar to their pale ale. Tastes is floral piney hop with a malty backbone. Medium body with a nutty finish. Pretty good
