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 ruby color into the glass with small head. Aroma is malty with some fruitiness to it. The flavor of this beer is mild with some fruity flavors coming through. Overall this beer is a great session drinker. I gotta say though, the name "sawtooth" made me think I was getting something with a little more punch. Maybe I simply missed the commercial description on the 6 pack, but I don’t think there was anything there to let you know what you were getting. Also, I had some underfilled bottles.

A good beer. Well balanced. I agree with the Fat Tire comment. Many people really like Fat Tire, I’m not impressed.

Bottled at Palm Tavern. Pretty good bitter. Hard to see color as it was bottled with no glass to use. Reminded me of everything I wish Fat Tire was.

Very nice balance between the malt and hop flavors. Just a hint of bitterness on an otherwise very clean finish. Aroma is rather mild. Not exceptional in anyway, but still good.

A good beer. Well balanced. Nothing out of the ordinary craft market, but perhaps a better value.

Nice sessions amber ale. Balance of hops and malt, medium body, kind of fizzy. I can’t say I would be able to pick this out of a lineup, but it is rightly balanced, neither under-hopped nor impinging on IPA territory.

355 ml bottle. Pours a cooper tinted amber with an adequate off-white head. Caramelized malt filled nose with little, if any, hop presence. Medium, somewhat sweet body. Malt predominates with notes of caramel and toffee and a touch of nuttiness. A well balanced dosing of hops rounds out a very drinkable offering.
