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 clear, dark golden straw colored with a thick, fizzy head. Peaches and pineapples waft over grass and sweet caramel. Taste like a fruity hops sandwich -- not bitter, but round and malty. Slightly thin body with a nice smooth finish.

The Dan Journal #65. Tasted 1/9/2007. 12oz bottle. Somewhat hazy with a deep amber hue. Musty hoppy aroma. Soapy. Full bodied with a zesty effervescence. Nice malt character. Caramel malt profile. Zesty citrus hops. Good grapefruit hops. Well done!

Bottle from hopdog. Thanks Steve. An amber ale here that is actually amber in color. Thin white head. Nose very hoppy for the style which I dont mind. Flavor tastes more like a bitter, hoppy ipa. Not much malt balance which is surprising, but still a nice easy drinking beer. Troegs makes some very solid products.

Thick, firm, beige metallic-tasting head. Dark amber body. Fruity smell that is saying drink me. Taste of hops and easy drinkin’. Beer, like other Troegs, is kind of salty. Really easy to sit around and drink this fine example of an amber ale though.

Amber in color with a quickly fading off-white head. Aroma is fantastically grapefruity. Taste is biscuity with delicate hops in background. Not bad. $2/12oz

xxx I’m not a big fan of amber ales, but this one definitely made me see some merits to it, good beer.

dark brown appearance. flavor is unique with a slight malt character that is quickly overwelmed by an overriding strong hoppness. The two flavors never seem to mesh together leaving a slightly uneven flavor to the beer. a quality brew but i was hoping for more
