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.

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.

Pours a rick amber color with a small whit head. Aroma is citrus hops. Very well balanced flavor of sweet malts and hops. Not bad at all. Lots of hop flavor without a lot of bitterness? Very strange but good.

Troeg’s HopBack Amber Ale is a good hoppy, yet balanced, amber ale with a white head.

12 oz bottle. Deep amber coloured brew with a thick white head. Aroma is great... bright juicy hop aroma. Grapefruit and lots of spicy sweetness. A lovely caramel/cookie dough malt base with a hint of toast as well. Excellent balance. Tasty sweet citrus hops over a fresh biscuity malt base. Moderate bitterness, but loads of hop flavour.

Clear amber with a frothy tan head. Nice spicy hop smell with bready malts. Med bodied with a super smooth mouthfeel. Good taste is well balanced with caramel malt and a nice piney spicy hop bitterness to finish. A regular in my fridg. 71406
