Like great jazz improvisation, there are endless opportunities when crafting malt, water, hops and yeast into beer.

Expect dry, quenching character as the often subtle, sometimes assertive signatures of great hop varieties lead this brewer's quartet. Cold conditioned for maximum refinement, it is always offered unfiltered. Varies between 4.7% & 5.4% ABV.

We teamed up with St. Thomas Roasters of Linglestown, PA to create a special blend of espresso beans. They added Kenyan beans to the mix because of a strong citrus flavor that compliments the hops. Creating an environment akin a French press, the beans are combined with whole flower hops in the hopback, and the hot wort passes through the vessel on the way to fermentation giving JavaHead a lush coffee espresso nose and hints of coffee flavor. There is a silky quality to the mouthfeel and a citrus aromas from the combination of Kenyan beans and whole flower hops.

Amber Ale
Strength (ABV): 
6.0% ABV
Color (SRM): 
10º L
Bitterness (IBU): 
55 IBU

Tröegs Brewery’s Flagship beer, HopBack Amber Ale derives its name from a vessel in the brewhouse called a hopback. As the ‘wort’ is being transferred from the brewhouse to fermentation it passes through the hopback vessel. Packed full of fresh whole flower hops, the wort slowly circulates through this vessel extracting the essence of the aromatic hops. This vessel adds more time and more hop character that creates a fresh, spicy taste and rich caramel note that defines this signature ale.

Best With: 
Big, robust flavors like red meats and strong cheeses. The assertive flavors of our HopBack will hold up against strong cheeses like Stilton and Smoked Cheddar.
