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.

On tap at RnH (NYC). Easy on the eyes with a rich amber-wood pour, this one’s loaded with eclectic flowery hops with some bitter citrus tastes hidden in there. Sweet caramel balances any spicy clove notes. Overwhelmingly delicious. #037 on 30062009, DG.

Medium copper pour with a light head and good carbonation. Resin and pine in the aroma. Bitterness matches but does not overwhelm. Medium caramel and sugar body. Nicely balances.

Pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma is sticky and sweet - caramel and citrus hops. Taste is the same plus a nice earthiness. Smooth mouth feel with moderate carbonation. Drinkable and enjoyable.

Sample at the Troegs and Dark Horse tasting at Blacklick Wine and Spirits on 6/5/09. Clear amber pour with a medium tan head. Citrus hop aroma with some malt thrown in. Earthy and citrusy hop flavor with a nice malt balance. I actually prefer this to the Nugget Nectar.

Amber hue with tan creamy head, decent lacing, sweet smell, not much spice and very faint hop, carmel aftertaste, nice balance, relatively light body but that seems to be Troegs characteristic, but this is refreshing one.
