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.

Had this beer on draft at Magoo’s. What a great beer for hop heads. Big aroma and floral flavor, funncky, sweet sour and a nice though not too bitter finish. dark amber color and good levelof carbonation and head. again in 2009, still well balanced for a well hopped ale

Pours a reddish brown with red highlights and a fair fading tan head. Smells fresh hoppy, very similar to their pale ale. Tastes is floral piney hop with a malty backbone. Medium body with a nutty finish. Pretty good

Pours amber with a thin off white head. Aroma is caramel and a bit of hop citrus. Flavor is the same, some funk and skunk as well. Finishes mildly bitter.

Deep amber almost brown in color. The nose has aromas of sweet caramel, light citrus and stewed fruit. In the mouth it is medium-bodied and shows off the hops even in the midpalate which fades toward a soft, dry finish.

Bottle. Pours an amber/brown with a nice tan head. Aroma of sweet malt and flowery hops. Flavor of bitter flavory hops, light fruits. Very flowery (like soap!). I would like a stronger malt presence along with the strong hop addition. Still, a very enjoyable amber.

Bottle. Aroma combining piney hops, diverse fruity esters, and rich malt. Flavor loses some of the diversity of the aroma, as some notes blend together, but still quite tasty. Very nice.
