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.

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.

On tap at RnH (NYC). Easy on the eyes with a rich amber-wood pour, this one’s loaded with eclectic flowery hops with some bitter citrus tastes hidden in there. Sweet caramel balances any spicy clove notes. Overwhelmingly delicious. #037 on 30062009, DG.

Medium copper pour with a light head and good carbonation. Resin and pine in the aroma. Bitterness matches but does not overwhelm. Medium caramel and sugar body. Nicely balances.

Pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma is sticky and sweet - caramel and citrus hops. Taste is the same plus a nice earthiness. Smooth mouth feel with moderate carbonation. Drinkable and enjoyable.
