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.

From the bottle into pint glass. I was immediately impressed with the BIG hoppy aroma during the pour. Nice thick head slowly dissipated with lingering lace. True to its name, this beer is full of hop flavor. Slightly bitter finish, but not overly so. Mouthfeel left me wanting a little, but, overall, a nice beer.

Not the best of the Troeg products by any means, but certainly a decent beer, especialy for a low price everyday beer.Mainly notes of caramel and such with some grapefruit notes as well but nothing special

wow that is nice. very clean wood accent with a beautiful tasting hop character that includes floral pine and grapefruit rind accents in very good proportion. beer is really creamy yet refreshng (probably the beautiful flavor). wow thats a nice substantive and really classy brew. no hint of alcohol.

Troegs doesn’t disappoint with lovers of light hoppy beers with this one. Nice light start with a very hoppy aftertaste. Light color and texture give away later to a good strong aftertaste that leaves you craving more.

poured into a pint. pours a bubbly red copper amber with good white head. sweet hoppy aroma. smooth malty front with sweet hoppy backgrounds to a light finish. not much bitterness from hops, but sweet lingering aftertaste. good, yet more aromatic than flavor from the hops, light and sessionable.

Bottle. Pours copper with thin but tight offwhite head. The aroma is floral hops with some honey and citrus notes and light biscuit. The flavor is biscuit and toast malt witha pretty assertive hop profile for an amber. Mostly pine, some lemon notes, too. It gets some caramel in the finish with a mild spice and earth aftertaste.

From a bottle poured amber with a good amount of head. Nice hoppy flavor, kinda sweet, with nice lasting aftertaste.

A rotten fruit laced floral piny aroma, a little scary. Transparent iced tea appearance. Also has an iced tea, tea froth head. Fruity hop bite. Of course the hops are the main feature here. Small amount of creamy carbonation. wants to be an IPA but never quite gets there. Citrus rind flavors build thru the session. Dirty hop spring water finish. Will not buy again. Get’s a seven overall only because it is troeg.
