Nov 9, 2009 33cl bott@Strasbourg Mondial de la Biere. Nice golden-amber color. Interesting nose. Lemony. Zesty. Clean and sharp. Nearly tasteless. Low malt profile, bit of hops, just a point. Nothing else. Disappointing. Lighly bodied.

Nov 8, 2009 Bottle. Floral aroma, deep amber color, minimal head. Medium flavor, medium body, creamy texture and fizzy carbonation with a long finish. Enjoyed, a bit hoppy with a long, hoppy finish.

Nov 7, 2009 On tap at Fat Bob’s in Buffalo. Amber pour, very hoppy for an amber. Citrusy smell, but slightly deeper than an IPA in terms of flavor. Piney scent and taste too. This was a lot more hoppier than was expecting although I should have realized it, given the Hopback name.

Nov 6, 2009 Poured a deep red amber with a good head and medium lacing. Smelled of hops and citrus. Tasted of hops, citrus with a caramel sweetness to temper the bitterness of the hops. Finishes with a bitter yet sweet taste that leaves the mouth a little dry. Enjoyable.

Nov 1, 2009 [2521-20091009] 12floz bottle. Grass clippings and bread hops aroma with some fresh citrus rind. Clear, dark orange amber body with a medium-lasting foamy off-white head. Rich grainy metallic grassy hops flavour. Full body is bitter. Quite tasty, good balance though hints at being old.

Oct 28, 2009 Draft at Churchkey, but this was a cask dry-hopped with palisades hops. Light brown iced tea color. No head (probably due to the cask). Smells faintly resiny but also has some honey and sweetness. Very thin palette, piney hops and some floral/grassy notes on the back palette. Pretty good, but I wouldn’t necessarily say what I experienced is indicative of all of Hopback.

Oct 27, 2009 Pours amber, bitterness comes through in the aroma. Nice taste, hops is very apparent, but it has a nice balance. A nice drinkable but flavorful beer.
