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.

Purchased at Perfect Pour - Dark shiny copper, creamy off white head. Toffee peach aromas ride light toasty pine notes. Soft hoppy flavor balances on a rich caramel backbone. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, lightly bittersweet finish. 6% ABV makes this a decent cross-over session ale in my book...

Love this brew. Pours amber in color with a thin white head. Aroma is amazing, smells of sweet malt and sugary fruit. Taste is very fruity and hoppy with nice carbonation. Crisp finish. Makes a nice session beer.

Bottle: pours a dark brown with a little bit of head, aroma of hops and maybe a little caramel, taste is hoppy, spicy, caramel. This is more my type of a session beer - has some hops coming through but not overpowering and a reasonable ABV.

Loved it! Nice hoppy kick, but well balanced with the rest of the beer. Haven’t had a Troegs yet that I didn’t love.

So so flavor. It was interesting that the hops were present in smell, but the beer wasn’t bitter. I would purchase this one again

Bottle. Pours a dark amber color with minimal off-white head. Citrus aroma is a preview to the flavor of hops that comes across the tongue with spiciness. Not overpowering, and very sessionable.

Dark amber/copper color. Nice beige head, but dissipates quickly. Citrus/grapefruit cascade hop aroma and flavor. Some caramel malt. Thin.
