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.

Taste 8/8 bottle (4/08 brew date). Looks: Nice iced tea color that I associate with ESB. Aroma: Sour/sweet grain. Very mild floral hop freshness. Taste: Thin to medium bodied. Very mild hops, just a little spice. Yeasty and a little sour. Mild must. Creamy for an esb.

Bottle. Pours a fuzzy tea color, with fluffy white head and spotty creamy lacing. Sweet molasses covered oats in the nose, brown sugar, some distant grainy corn. Smooth malt essence in the flavor, fairly rich, such as caramel and some sweet candy-like notes. Very good. Drinkable and so smooth, yet crisp and refreshing.

12oz bottle. Pours a nice amber-orange with a big pillow top. Aroma is lightly sweet while the flavor is very nice. Clean and crisp with just enough sweetness. A very nice session beer. In fact, I didn’t want to rate it, because I was too busy drinking it. 6/5/8/4/16

Had it on draft at longmont. Nice tasting beer. Better as average because of it’s bitter taste.

Bottle, 12oz, at Bishops Arms, Järntorget, Gothenburg. A hazy, golden-orange beer with an off-white head. Sugary sweet nose with some beefstock, and piney and tropical hops. Sugary sweet flavor too, with a little note of caramel and beefstock. Umami-like. Piney and tropical hops with some bitterness. Fullbodied initially, but feels watery after a while, the fruits and sugars disappears rather quickly. A well-made 4.8% ABV beer. (080710)
