Commercial Description:
Sawtooth Ale is an English style Extra Special Bitter. It is an extremely well balanced beer, with significant hop character, medium body, and a maltiness which increases in evidence as the beer warms to its "proper" drinking temperature. . The water used is quite hard, bringing it to near Burton on Trent levels, keeping it true to the style. This gives it the appropriate character and improves the malt extract significantly.

Slightly hazy amber brown with fair khaki head. Aroma of light floral hops and a slight sweet nuttiness. Flavor reminds me of a pale ale. I actually found that it was maltier when first poured, and gained hoppiness as it warmed. Not that bad after it breathes a bit.

Why the low rating? I love this stuff. Very good ESB. Nose is sweet rich. Flavors of roasted malt, caramel, light hops. I love this brew one of my favs.

Nice 12oz pour to a big rocky and fluffy white head. Fullers is my benchmark and this is way lighter in color. This looks more like an IPA than a ESB but the nose is all classic ESB. Mucho malt on the 1st sip and that classic Brit ESB finish that is malt then a whack over the head that tells you there is a nice quantity of hops but still balanced. this has a classic ESB taste for sure but seems a bit refined for the style. Then again, you don’t get any better than Fullers ESB. Still considered worthy of the price charged here in Pa for a case. $36!!!!

Draught at the brewery. Clear orange coloured with a small white head. Aroma of malts, caramel, fruits, hops and grass. Fruity flavour of malts, caramel, hops and grass. Hoppy finish.
