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.

Pours a full copper color with little head. Aroma is of sweet malt as well as some hop bitterness. Flavor is a bit sweet, of sugary malt with a little more hop presence than I expected. Quite good. 12 oz. bottle.

Light amber in color. 2 inch frothy off white head. Great, hoppy aroma. Strong hoppy taste, with some bread notes. Palate is a little runny and weak (watery). Malty finish.

Rich copper pour with a thick, lasting head and good lacing. Semi-sweet caramel aroma with notes of cereal and floral hops. Balanced beer that is quenching with a light dry quality. Medium to thin in body, it’s an easy drink. A fair amount of nutty grains and caramel in the flavor along with fresh buttered bread. There is an abundant floral and grassy hop flavor as well. A nice every day bitter that I really enjoy.

BOTTLE: 46F. Nice copper color with thick foamy head, slight lacing. Aroma is a bit hoppy with a hint of sweetness. Flavor is pretty good, like a hoppy brown ale more than a bitter. In fact, it’s not very bitter at all. Palate is lively with a dry short finish. Nice drinkable ale

Ripe citrus aroma, with some floral hops coming through as well. An appealing taste of many different fruits at the center of this beer. Malt profile is slightly chewy, this is a well balanced beer that you can really wrap your palate around. Satisfying with a ingratiating lingering aftertaste.

Good beer, especially if you like more carbonated, fizzy ambers. Very drinkable and light.

Very nice ESB. Better than I thought. Not quite as good as Schlafly Winter ESB, but still pretty damned good. . Pours a small head that refuses to disappear. Nice balance between the floral hops and malts. Maybe a bit spicy. I like it and was pleasantly surprised.

Bottle. Pours orange with a fluffy off white head. Aroma is floral hops, and sweet caramel, maybe even a hint of brown sugar. Medium body. Flavor is floral hops and caramel, and has a slightly metallic note in the finish. Not that bad, but not great.
