Feb 17, 2007 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.

Feb 13, 2007 Pours a nice clear and rich, amber-orange color with a decent, foamy, off-white head. A big hoppy aroma, maybe some floral notes, also a touch of caramel malt. Pretty good carbonation gives it a full and lively mouthfeel, but it is still surprisingly dry. The taste was a good mixture, mostly bitter with some sourness too. A good, hoppy beer as advertised; it did not disappoint.

Jan 31, 2007 Color was a nice auburn-orange; with a medium white head. Floral, earthy hop aroma; caramel malt. Taste has a strong malt background; some moderate earthy hop presence. Pretty good palate.

Jan 30, 2007 Earthy hops and light malt aromas. Brown and orange in color with an off-white head. Pretty full mouthfeel for an amber ale. Refreshing taste with good malt presence and earthy hops that provide a decent bite in the finish. Surprisingly good for a style that I don’t enjoy that much.

Jan 24, 2007 12oz bottle (thanks to The Epeeist) poured a clear amber with nice head. Aromas of rich caramel malts and some floral hops. Taste is strongly malted with a moderate amount of hop bitterness and flavor. Smooth and very easy drinking, but with a name like Hopback I would like to see more of a hop finish.

Jan 5, 2007 Pours orangy pink hued amberwith whit head, diminishing head. Fruity malt and floral hops round this aroma out. Smooth and slightly sweet. Subdued carbonation, but a smooth creamy body. Not liquidy at all. Nice for a session in terms of body though. The flavors are a step down from the aroma. Fruity and floral hops, with light caramel malt. There’s some toast in here. The finish is fruity,while the aftertaste toasty. Not a bad beer, but nothing remarkable. I don’t see how their Nugget Nectar is an amped up version of this beer.
