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.

Bottle. Very high fluffy but lasting off-white head. Clear cobber body. Spicy and yet caramel sweet hops aroma. Sweet burned malt flavor with caramel, round and smooth without much hops bitterness. Low carbonation, short aftertaste.

Smells of bitter hops with a faint skunky smell. Pours a very hazy orange/amber color with a medium white head. Taste is half bitter half sour hop notes with a fizzy feel and a slightly watery finish. Not a fantastic bitter, but not terrible.

Amber with nice off white head. Aroma was hoppy with citrus accent and some light rye. Flavour is full, rich and bitter at the finish. Quite smooth on the palate throughput.

Bottle. Amber/orange color. Head is about 3 centimeters and creamy, but fades after a couple of minutes. The color of the head is off-white. Good lacing. Smells of fruity/citrus hoppiness, apricot, sweet caramel and some yesty sourness. I really like the smell of cascade hops. The taste is fruity, mostly citrus, but also some more sweet fruits and caramel/toffee. Nice smooth finish with moderate bitterness. Medium body and light carbonation. High drinkability and a good session ale. One more please!

Bottlepours a slightly hazy light orange/amber witha small quicksandy colored head. Malty woody aroma with some carmel notes as well. Flavor is woody, apple cider and sweet caramel malts. Slight hop bitterness and a soft carbonation witha smooth body. Nice ESB.

(Bottle) Amber colour with frothy off-white head leaving lots of lacing. Fruity, slightly malty nose with dried fruit, apricots, toffee and a hint of smoke. Malty taste with dried fruit, apricots, caramel and toffee. Balanced notes of spicy hops in the finish, but not very bitter. Doesn’t really rock my world, but a balanced and very drinkable brew.
