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.

Taster - 99 Bottles - Federal Way, WA.
Aroma – Light malt no real hops aroma
Appearance – Copper, clear with a light head
Flavor – Light bitter with mild malts and light hops
Palate – Crisp, light a very mild ESB
Overall –Sorry missed the ESB boat. This was very mild to taste neded more bittering hops or time in the tanks with hops in them. Too fast to produce.

Cloudy orange color with a quickly disappearing offwhite head. Faint funky aroma. Some earth and fruit aromas. Nutty smells as well. Some bitter hop flavors. The hops remind you of the style for sure. Slight sweetness. Would love some more malt to balance out the bitterness.

Decent american beer from a decent american microbrewery. Certainly better than most microbrews....a decent ESB. The mil stout, however, rocked.

interesting hop character. citrus with some latin fruit. touch of straw in the light malt backing. receded hop character that fades while the brew is in mouth and finishes with the malt so cleanly. like a multicolored jawbreaker. what is it about colorado and beer?!

Amber color with great big frothy head that rises over the glass without spilling over. Hop aroma of grapefruit, ear wax, and shampoo, with malty bread and caramel undertones. Earhty english style ESB taste.

An excellent aroma and a really, really pleasing fruit taste to boot. Just an excellent beer. The boys at Left Hand have shown once again that they’re some of the best in the business in the USA.

Fruity, nut aroma, and the taste is no departure. Deep, heavy-bodied with a wide aftertaste. Quite enjoyable.

Had this beer on 5/7/1999. Color is a deep rich brownish gold with very light carbonation and light head. Unlike there Pale it’s crystal clear with no sediment at all. Aroma is malty with a light hint of hops. Taste is sharp and clean. Starting with a light body it goes down crisp with a very light malt flavor. The finish is a sharp malt taste followed by a medium hop bitterness. It’s a refreshing brew with a good clean finish. A great beer any time you feel like a refreshing bitter brew.
