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.

it may not be the best i’ve had, but it sure is good. Nice and smooth, with nice hoppy flavor. It could be a little more bitter, but i can live without that. Give it a try if you have the chance.

Nice amber appearance with a very good first taste. Went down very smooth and had a nice pleasant aroma to it.

I was excited to finally try a Troegs. Obviously, they make some well reviewed beers on this site. The beer poured a nice orange, amber with a decent head. The aroma was slightly citrus with ample hop smell coming through. The flavor was alright. Not as bitter as I was hoping for and the finish was quick. Reading the other reviews I’m going to try a couple of other bottles and see if I change my opinion. Otherwise, this was just an average beer for me. Drinkable, but average.

Bottle. Clear orange with a near medium head. Aroma of grass and citrus hops with caramel. Taste is almost spicy. Flavor is moderately sweet and moderately bitter. Medium body. Too good for an amber. It should be upgraded to at least a bock. ;-)

12 oz bottle. A redish orange pour with little head. Smells of crisp clean citrus. Taste of hops, caramel, and a little spice. Good stuff.

Great beer. A sweet but hoppy taste that is well balanced. Citrus, hoppy aroma. Impressively full flavor. Not a thin or watery beer at all.
