Nov 25, 2007 Cask @ Rustico in Alexandria VA. Pours pretty dark cloudy copper. Nice big hoppy nose on this one. Taste is sweet hoppy, chewy with a nice hoppy bite and a malty edge.

Nov 22, 2007 Bottle. Pours reddish brown w/ a sudsy head. Malty caramel-ish hoppy aroma. Exceptionally smooth taste with a great hoppy/sweet balance. Kinda tastes honeyish. Delicious.

Nov 16, 2007 Hopback is a fitting name for this beer - the aroma is unmistakeably of hops, and there is only a slight amount of bitterness. There is also a taste of citrus and flowers. This is a surprisingly good brew, very hoppy.

Nov 10, 2007 12 oz. bottle. Clear coppery hue under a medium light beige head leaving a decent lace. Aroma of light brown sugar, grain, peppery spice. Medium body with a pleasing light chewiness. Mostly caramel sweetness up front with a very soft bitterness coming in at the end. Finish is balanced, with a slowly developing dryness. This is a pretty good amber. It has some character, whereas most ambers are non-descript.

Oct 29, 2007 Updated: Oct 27, 2008very nice piney/floral aroma, large shaving cream, lacing off white head, copper in color. BUT, the flavor here dissapoints, and has a noticably flat character. Not as sharp or as dry as I like in a beer that starts off with so much promise. draft- really enjoyed a caramel like flavor and mouthfeel at first that opened up into a great and bright hop presentation. I was wrong with the bottle rate- WAY wrong.

Oct 26, 2007 Amber pour with a nice white head. Dark spicy hop flavor with some pleasantly smooth caramel maltiness. Dry finish. Excellent.

Oct 18, 2007 12oz. Another winner from Troegs. Pours hazy amber with a fleeting beige head. Good roasted amber malt, with some relatively complex spiciness and hops. Good mouthfeel that turns a bit thin towards the end. I feel like "amber ale" is one of the more stratified classifications and this is definitely on the hoppier end of things.

Oct 17, 2007 Highly citrus aroma with a really deep color considering its medium malt taste. Strong grapefruit citrus that doesn’t linger too long and is neatly balanced by medium body and quick dry finish.
