Tröegs HopBack Amber Ale

4.1/5

AROMA
8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20

12 ounce bottle. Pours clear orange-amber color with a fairly dense 2 finger off white head with very good retention. Awesome looking glass lacing. Aromas of caramel, grapefruit, pine, and some light orange peel. Taste of a lot of grapefruit, with caramel, orange peel, and pine flavors. Malty on the front, with a decent amount of bitterness present on the finish. Overall very well balanced, bitterness and malts are pretty much equal. Alcohol was not noticed at all, except for a very small warming after the finish. Medium carbonation and body. This was extremely drinkable. My glass disappeared pretty fast. I would definitely pick up a 6 pack of this for a nightly session, and it is also very widely available around me. Overall a tasty and easy going amber ale. Excellent.

Another tasty brew from Tröegs. Will definitely have some again, as it is a year round brew, and is widely available around me.
