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.

medium bitterness, light body, fizzy, bitter, A little too bitter in my opinion. Not too heavy though. I prefer the aroma to the flavor. Not a beer I’d drink solo at the end of the day, but certainly it would be good paired with a meal.

Bottle courtesy of abcfan, pours dark amber with half finger white head. Aroma is not strong but some sweet malt and light hops. Taste is similar to aroma with clean finish. Really good beer.

Out of a sixter. Really quality stuff. Dark amber color with a large head. Great aroma of pine and citrus. Just a wonderful hop flavor with a very good balance.

On tap, this poured a good dark amber color, with a good whiteish head. Great hop smell, with a great hop taste, not to overpowering. Had a good malt bite also present. The head was perfect all the way down the glass. I would buy It again.

Best session beer i ever had!Beautiful hop aroma with slight grapefruit maybe a very slight spice and good solid caramel malt backbone.Flavor perfectly matching the aroma.Not to bitter but yet very hoppy.Good complexity but very drinkable. Very well balanced.Beautiful deep amber color with a thick off white head with very good lacing.Also a very pleasant soft carbonation.Excellent beer for summer or fall.Can drink quite a few in one sitting even at 6% abv.Excellent job troegs!

This beer is more like an APA. Strong hop presence combined with a sweet caramel taste and mild citrus flavors make it very enjoyable. Possibly the best beer they make.

Purchased at Total Wine in Alexandria, 12 oz bottle pours ruby amber in color with little head. Aroma of caramel and roasted grains. Front palate of warm malt with spicy (nutmeg, cinnamon, clove?) middle and finish of mild but crisp hoppiness to give a well rounded flavor. Easily paired with a variety of light to mid-weight fare. Great for a spring, summer or autumn session beer.
