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.

Very nice amber ale. Pours a deep amber with a small, evanescent beige head. Good lacing. Nose is a moderate mixture of pine and grapefruit, with a light overtone of yeast and bread. Taste is a coppery bitter melange of pine and caramel malt, with a little salt thrown in. Mouthfeel is slick and the finish reiterates the salt (but in a good way), and is fairly astringent with a great long bitter echo.

Oh man this beer will cure what ails ya! Ripe grapefruit scent with plenty of lemon and pine on top of a layer of sweet caramel and roasted nuts. Dark amber almost brown in color with a 1’’ lasting head and heavy lacing. Middle of the road fullness, drinkable and it sticks with you. Crisp and snappy with a mild bitterness. Explosive flavor that tickles the buds. Lightly burnt malt that is nutty and has a good caramel taste. Fresh wheat bread and plenty of flowery hops providing a blast of citrus and evergreen. Astounding treat, I need a whole lot more of this around.

A refreshing beer. A slight brown color with nice lacing on the glass. Has a nice nutty hoppy taste and finishes very smooth. An impressive brewery.

Nice hop aroma, with hints of citrus and freshly cut grass, backed with caramel malts. Pours a reddish-amber with a quickly fading light tan head. Nice chewy palate, full of hoppy goodness. Nice solid amber.

A nicely done amber backed up with a large amount of hops that compliments the malty body nicely. Easy to drink and enjoyable. No complaints.

Pours amber with thin off white head. Aroma of hops and malt. Taste is hops, malt, and caramel. Decent brew.
