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.

This beer pours a very dark clear amber color with a nice thick head and a nice lacing. The smell is much like a nice IPA with hops and citrus dominating the nose. So far, so good. There is a good malt and hop balance with a decent mouthfeel. There are notes of grapefruit, spices, carmel, malt and yeast. For an amber ale, this is about as good as it gets. I wish this beer were more accessible.

Nice amber colored pour with a nice cream colored head. Subtle hops aroma, with hints of yeast. Nice hops flavor, not too skunky, not too grassy, but a nice semi-sweet floral hops flavor with hints of caramel maltiness. Finish is a little strong, but very nice. A very good drink

Pour is a nice orange-ish brown. The head is good sized, and tan in color. The aroma is perfumey and hoppy. Good robust hop flavor, with a nice mellow malt flavor right about where it should be. Finish is longer, then expected but pleasant. Very good Amber.

Bottle. Pours a nice golden-amber color with a decent-sized head. Aroma is subtle hops, some malts and a slight bit of yeast. Flavor is pretty much balanced perfectly between the hops and the malt. Nice mouthfeel. Easy drinking.

Very enjoyable Ale. Beautiful amber color! Almost perfect blend of malt and hops, however I’d prefer a bit more hops and a tad less of the caramel malt flavor. I definitely would recommend this and look forward to trying it again soon.

12 oz bottle-Pours a dark amber coloring. Hoppy aroma, heavy malt flavoring a little too heavy for my liking on regular drinking. Medium bodied average carbonation.

This is a real winner for an amber ale. its got an extra kick of malt to help the dominate hop aroma and taste. This is how Amber Ale should be made
