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.

12 oz draft served in a clear pint glass. Nose is citrus, caramel, and florally hops. Taste is very much the same. I was pleasantly surprised by this brew. Enough malt to balance the hop, and a good bit borrowed from some of the best IPAs. A very tasty step towards developing a taste for hops.

Tap. For the base of nugget nectar this is what you would expect. A good pick if your looking to drink a bunch on a warm sunny day.

From 12 oz bottle. Taste of malt and hops. Taste of caramel. The bottle indicates that there is spice in here, if so it was not very prevalent. A pretty good beer, but in my opinion it is a bit overrated.

From bottle, pours with great clarity and warm amber color. Comes with a range of malt and hop flavors, medium-lean body (profile reminds me of a light Red Rocket) and steady finish.

Bottle in Virginia. Pours a deep caramel with a nice whitish head that leaves a thin sticky lacing. Aroma is a nice complex hop profile with caramel and rye. The flavor is similar. A delightful aftertaste of floral hops remains well after the glass was empty.

On cask at Zenos. Medium orange hue with modest white sustaining head for a cask. Nose is floral and earthy-tealike hops, some sweet caramel. Flavor is lavendar flowers and tea leaves, lighter caramel and bready malts, low bitterness. Smooth creamy texture, medium body. A sweet and balanced hoppy amber cask, good drinkability.
