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.

Thanks to abcfan for the bottle! Great stuff! Pours out a nice deep copper color with a great head. Aroma is of spicy hops. The taste and palate are the best part of this beer. It has a great spicy hop taste with a malty clean finish. It’s a great version of the style.

Aroma is quite hoppy, seems to be a touch of malt. Beer is clear, with a small head a few minutes after pouring. Good color for an amber. Flavor is quite hoppy, a good amount of bitterness, all well balanced with the malt flavor. Like an amber IPA.

Deep copper color with a frothy off-white head. Caramel/toffee malt, sweet fruit and citrus hops in the aroma. Smooth and rich caramel flavor laced with a piquant hop bitterness. Fine and clean resin, even minty finish. Medium to full bodied. Very nice, substantially flavored amber ale.
