Left Hand Sawtooth Ale

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.

Pours a frothy, average head...brown to amber body. Light, sweet initial flavor with not much finish. Very smooth. light hops in the nose, some malt on the tongue. All in all, a good brew, but still nothing exceptional.

Bottle. One of the few Non English Bitters that is actually quite good. It is a very well balanced beer, containing a good bit of woody hops and an almost caramelly sweetness. Solid drink.
