Troegs Brewing Co. Anthology Mix 12 Pack

 This is the mix pack of the company I have been meaning to try and looking all over to find their beer, Troegs from PA, USA. This mix pack has 3 bottles of each 4 styles. I find these styles to be a great mix for summer time beer drinking!

The Sunshine Pils-  is a pilsner that packs a punch.Pale yellow in color, pours a small head that dissipates quickly. Some nice noble hop notes here, lemon zest, earthy spice, grassy, grainy. This pilsner has a lot more flavor than your typical pilsner, but it is still very drinkable and great for summer. 3.5/5

Hopback Amber - A nice twist on a classic amber. Here we taste a lot more hops than usual for an Amber ale. Caramel and bready malts compliment the strong hop flavor here. I really like the bitterness in this amber ale. It has a nice smoothness to balance off the punch of hops very well. 4/5 great beer!

Pale Ale- Typical pale ale here with a nice hop flavor. It is crisp and refreshing. Some citrus and grassy hop flavor. This beer is a lot better than most pale ales you get in a sampler pack. It is the perfect summer beer for someone who likes hops 3.5/5.

Dreamweaver wheat-  A german style hefeweizen with a nice strong wheat flavor. Orange peel, nice spice of cloves, nicely balanced and easy to drink. 3/5

  There isn't a bad beer in the bunch. Troegs Anthology mix pack has a nice blend of classic styles great for summer. But Troegs doesn't come with the bare minumum here. These are some well crafted beers with lots of flavor. I am very impressed with Troegs, this mix pack, and I am glad I finally got to try Troegs!
