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.

Nice floral hops aroma, and a good grapefruit/citrus taste to it. A well balanced Amber and another solid beer from Troegs. LC

Bottle. Moderate malt aroma of roasted, light orange and dough for the hops and yeast, with toffee and dried fruit in the background. Head is small, creamy with some larger bubbles, off white, with fair lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is clear copper. Flavor is lightly sweet and moderately acidic to start, then finishes lightly acidic and light to moderately bitter. Palate is light to medium, watery and has a lively carbonation. A little bit of complexity and an easy drinking quality makes this a pretty good Amber.

Pours orange-amber in color with a white head. Real hoppy aroma, kind of spicy. Hoppy, dry taste with a decent malt backbone. Some caramel on the tongue, but hard to find with the strong hops. All the hops left a very dry finish.

On tap and bottles. On tap, nice and cold and crisp. Amber color, obviously. Small head. Aroma of caramel malts and some nice hops. Very balanced and drinkable. Taste is great, sweet, malty, hoppy, some mild spice and juicyness. Really good.

pours a cloudy orange amber with a thin head and some sudsy laseing aling the sides of the glass. The nose is nice and floral full of fresh hops and hints of caramel malt. This flavor is nice and bitter with a big hop bite in the begining and then it fades after each sip. It keeps biting your toung and there are some hints of lemon grass and spice but nothing potent. There is great carbonation and overall it is a great brew.

Tap... Poured amber with a thick, frothy, white head. Aroma of hops and malted grains. Light, fizzy palate with a moderate carbonation. Simple flavors of hops and sweet, toasted grains. Finish was sorta acidic with a little bit of an alpha-resinous bitterness.

12 oz. Bottle. Pours a crystal clear copper with a frothy off-white head that leaves decent lacing on the glass. Great floral, hoppy aroma with a subtle caramel malt background. Up front the flavor is a floral with a faint citrusy hop taste, balanced nicely by a sweet caramel malty character. Smooth, balanced finish. Medium bodied. Excellent Amber Ale.
