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.

Pours amber with a thin off white head. Aroma is caramel and a bit of hop citrus. Flavor is the same, some funk and skunk as well. Finishes mildly bitter.

Deep amber almost brown in color. The nose has aromas of sweet caramel, light citrus and stewed fruit. In the mouth it is medium-bodied and shows off the hops even in the midpalate which fades toward a soft, dry finish.

Bottle. Pours an amber/brown with a nice tan head. Aroma of sweet malt and flowery hops. Flavor of bitter flavory hops, light fruits. Very flowery (like soap!). I would like a stronger malt presence along with the strong hop addition. Still, a very enjoyable amber.

Bottle. Aroma combining piney hops, diverse fruity esters, and rich malt. Flavor loses some of the diversity of the aroma, as some notes blend together, but still quite tasty. Very nice.

Bottle acquired as a bonus from mcferc4. Thanks again Rob!!! Crimson body with an eggshell colored head. Flavor is caramel and toffee but packs a bit of a hop punch that differentiates it from most ambers. The hops aren’t in the same league as Lucky 13, Green Flash Hop Head Red, or Speakeasy Prohibition but they are there. Very tasty. Wish I could get more from this brewery.

Pours a clear amber body with a thin sized head, a nice amount of caramel malts and floral hop aroma. Taste was soft, citrusy with subtle hop character all the way through. Finishes off dry.

From bottle... poured beautiful dark amber with medium creamy white head. Nice pine and citrus aroma. Sweet and spicy flavor. Loved it!
