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.

This is a real winner for an amber ale. its got an extra kick of malt to help the dominate hop aroma and taste. This is how Amber Ale should be made

This is a top-of-the-line Amber. Malt, hops, and spice all present. Fresh, crisp, slightly carbonated, this is nice.

Pours cloudy amber with a small off white head. Malty aroma with hints of fruity hops. Taste is smooth and earthy. Nice malt with subtle hops. Well balanced. Great amber.

Cold 12oz bottle: Pours a clear medium amber color with a small amount of off-white bubbles around the edges. Rich malts, nice yeast, subtle earthy hops and spices. Light bodied, crisp and well carbonated. Watery ending of malts and hops.

Bottle: Pours a clear orange with a thin white head, bread and pine in the aroma, medium bodied with solid carbonation, starts and ends way too bitter to be an amber ale. This is an IPA people, maybe with some English notes, but mainly USA IPA throughout..

12 oz bottle. Pours a deep orangey amber with a large foamy off white head with nice lacing. Aroma is of hops while the taste is malty with only a slight hops finish. Very nice beer.

Thanks to Kramer17801 for this. Golden amber pour, very clear. Malty, grassy, semi-sweet aroma with a hop profile that I can’t quite place. The taste is very well balanced. In fact, I believe this is probably the best amber ale I’ve ever had. Light pine and spice hops blending perfectly with a creamy malt base. Light and smooth with a medium creamy body. Yum. This is a fine, fine amber.
