Tröegs Hopback Amber Ale
A: Pours a clear, deep-hued amber with about 1/2 finger of fluffy head that dissipates quickly. Low carbonation. A fair amount of thin lacing webs to the side of the glass. N: Pine, orange citrus, lemon, mango and rich caramel. Maybe even a touch of coconut? T: Resinous pine, orange citrus, lemon and caramel upfront. Mid-palette focuses on the caramel and biscuity malts with hints of mango and perhaps other tropical fruits. Finishes with orange citrus, clean caramel, grapefruit and hints of pine. M: Medium bodied, juicy, smooth, crisp and slightly bitter with just a tad of stickiness. O: A very well crafted Amber Ale with the hop-head in mind. Beautifully balanced, refreshing and easy drinking. This is excellent for when you want to take a break from the massive amount of IPAs flooding the market. Thank you Troegs for putting the barley back into hoppy beers! SCREW YOU WEST COAST!
