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 a deep mahogany amber color with an ivory head. Very sweet and floral hop aroma, especially for an ’amber ale.’ The taste is full but very clean--caramel and spicy hops. Nice bitter finish. Solid beer, and refreshing in more ways than one.

Pours a reddish amber with a thin white lace head. Smells crisp with floral hops, a nice boquet indeed. Tastes of refeshing malt, fresh hops. This is verrry smooth and a delight. Has qualities from my favorite Troegs, Nugget Nectar. For an amber red this is a gem. Great drinkability.

This is my fallback beer. Love it. The drinkability and the palate are what makes it.

Nice and very hoppy. Almost tastes like an APA but with a nice maltyness to it. Pours a copper hazey grapfruit color. Some citrus evident.

Bottled. Poured clear, deep amber with a short-lived cap of off-white head. The aroma had some juicy light-medium skinned fruits, grapefruit, and caramel.. well-hopped with sufficient maltage to back it up.. nice! The flavor had a bunch of fruit and caramel at the core with juicy grapefruit and some spicy bitterness around.. bright and lightly-toasted.. tasty! Light-medium bodied with a thicker middle and a short, grainy bitter finish.. a bit tacky at times, and the slightest bit stale. Still a solid beer overall.

Pours a dark amber color with a nice off white head. Aromas of malt and some hops. Nice biiter hop flavor to start things off,very nicely balanced with a sweet caramel malt backing.Nice smooth hop/bitter finish to it.Very good! Thanks Ubamartian!

Bottle. Pours an amber, very slight haze, small white head. Aroma was dominated by hops, but not over the top, maybe a touch of caramel. Flavor was slightly sweet, hops again, caramel and grapefruit hidden in the background.

A scary dark amber color, balanced malt and hop aroma,thought for sure the hops would knock me off my chair,but that didn’t happen,taste was a surprisingly sweet malt and lots of bittering hops,alright flavoring hops do become more evident on about the third tip .A wonderful malt hop balance, each has a lot to say to you, really interesting. Thanks a ton Ubamartian
