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.

I’m really enjoying the sixtel of this one. Just enough hop flavor to balance out the malty backbone of this amber. It won’t overwhelm but it won’t disappoint. Solid choice.

aroma is excellent balance of citric hop notes and hefty caramel backup. appearance is tarnished amber, yet translucent. flavor is chewy caramel with hop backup, an equal balance in opposite terms via the aroma. well balanced amber that still qualifies despite strong hopping.

Bottle: Reddish amber pour with off-white head. Lots of maltiness backed up with hops, some fruitiness. Overall good session beer.

12 oz Bottle -- Pours reddish-amber with an off-white head. Lots of sweet malt on the nose with some floral hops in the background. Big malty character providing caramel and dried fruits.

12oz. Pours a clear amber with a thin, white head that has some okay retention and no lacing. Aroma is caramel, floral hops. Taste is nice caramel malt, some lemon, dry hops, a bit earthy, toast, biscuit. Not bad. Nice bittering hops throughout.

Nice copper pour. Potent hoops and marzipan come off to smell as well as some light spice notes. Body is well rounded and full mouth coating flavor. Nice piney floral hops presence as well as a balancing sweet almost fruity caramel touch. Bold flavor for the style and a solid brew for sure.

Draft. Pours chesnut brown with a thin, white head. Aroma of hops, sweet berries, pine, honey, and hay. Medium to full bodied with a charming, rich mouthfeel. Nice sharp finish. Very good amber ale.
