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 brown-amber with a good, tall beige head. Aromas of nuts, toast, grapefruit, and malt. Medium bodied, with a well-gauged amount of carbonation. Flavors are lively, dry but not drying to the palate. Bitterness is restrained until the finish. A well-rounded brew for hopheads.

Bottle. Ruby, reddish-orange in color. thin to no head. Hoppy with notes of brown sugar to the nose. 2-part taste: tart, thin, crisp bitterness on the tongue offset by honey, lightly malty after taste in the back of the throat. Solid.

Great first taste, that keeps me coming back. Nice rich color and smooth finish, great hoppy aroma. ( Can’t stop smelling this beer). A hint of citrus and spice linger in this Ale, along with a nice, not exteme bitterness and a rush of malt in the background. A must try for new comers in the area.

(Bottle) pours dark amber/red. Easy hop profile with caramely malt lingering in the background. Small notes of plums, new cut grass spicyness and strawberry jam in aroma. Hoppy, Piney organic/floral flavour with an ok bitterness. Fresh malty backbone. Good.

Pours copper with a light, frothy, white head. Forward citrus hop aroma. Nice strong citrusy, spicy hops upfront, rich balancing roasty malt background, with a slight hint of caramel. Palate is medium, a little chewy/oily, slight hop spice, and lasting bitterness. Rich and complex, a great example of the style.

Bottle. Poured a copper color with an average frothy off-white head that was mostly lasting and had good lacing. Good citrus hoppy aroma. Medium body with soft carbonation. Moderate well balanced hoppy flavor with a medium bitter finish. Good brew.

Bottle via trade with thaichile, thanks! Pours a clear caramel color with a off white head. Slight hop aroma with a touch of malt. Flavor is citrusy hops and a slug of malt and caramel. Slightly less than medium body. Good stuff.
