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.

Pours amber/copper into a shaker. Off-white head pancakes and recedes in larger surface bubbles. Sweet citrus and resin aromas. Crisp and well balanced with caramel upfront and a lasting dry grapefruit and resin finish.

(11/10/08) Bottle at friends’ house in Philadelphia (thanks David T). Clear deep reddish amber color with a bubbly beige head. Aroma of piney hops, resin and caramelly malt. Sweet caramelly malt at first with some toasted notes and then a bitter finish with hops and pine needles. Medium-bodied. Pretty tasty.

12 oz bottle. Poured a nice golden amber, with no haze. An offwhite creamy head that lasted a fair while with good cling. Aroma is mostly citrusy hops. Flavor is a pretty balanced palate, a bit of malty up front with a nice hop kick, maybe some sweeter notes in the aftertaste. The hops are a little bitter but smooth out after a little while.

Tap. Pours clear amber with a thin white head. Aroma is heavy hops with slightly-detectable grain (I’m wondering, based on the aroma, if this was dry-hopped). Taste is heavy floral hop and malt balanced out very well. This is a great beer, and I’ll be trying much more from this brewery.

Smells very hoppy, strong sour scent. Taste is very nicely balanced dark malts and sour hops. Very tasty beer

amber in color with a thin white head and nice lacing. the aroma is very floral with some pine notes. very earthy and floral flavor with caramel malts up front and mild grapefruit followed by pine and a bit of spice in the finish which is slightly dry. i could definitely enjoy this as a session beer...
