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.

Pours light amber with a thin, mostly receding tan head. Aroma of grapefruit, PNW hops. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and slightly resinous with smooth carbonation. Quite nice!

Not bad. Decent amber, but not really hoppy. A bit on the sweet side. I keep waiting for Troegs to get a bit better.

Pretty standard microbrew fare. For having the name Hopback you would think that the hops would jump out at you, but they don’t. Pretty smooth with medium character and nice finisht

Draft Pours a deep reddish brown. Has a soda like look with a nice tan head. Decent lasting and good lacing. Has a good aroma slightly hoppy with a hint of malts. Has a crisp taste with a good mix of hops and malts. Good carbination and a good aftertaste. A very good beer.

Clear deep amber pour witha tall off-white head that falls quickly. Malty aroma with some piney peppery hops that come at the end. Malty with a touch of bitterness. Smooth and easy drinking. A decently brewed beer in an often boring style.

reddish copper, thin beige head. Sweet bread and black pepper aroma. crisp bitterness up front, mostly citrus hops in the finish. Noticably bready, malty sweetness throughout, and a slightly sticky after taste.

Great start with a nice hop-filled aroma, but the taste let me down somewhat. Good for an amber, but pretty bland you’re hoping for a mega-hop brew. Tip: dump this one straight to the back of your mouth to maximize hop-taste. Re-rate 9/9/06: I may have been a bit harsh before, as the taste seems better than I remembered. Re-rate: This really is alot better than I initially rated it. I poured it and left it for over 30 minutes and the taste was much better. I can now say that this is reallly good.
