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.

not a great beer. Decent at best. ESB’s are not my favorite so I can’t really make a good comment. Possibly I should try this at it’s ’proper’ drinking temp.

On draft at Zeno’s, Penn State. Poured clear amber with fluffy head. Nose was sweet with a touch of lemony citrus. Flavor included notes of caramel and sweet malts. Mildly bitter finish.

Overall a light good beer. I enjoyed it. The smell was fairly faint to me and the head disapeered rather quickly. Also the taste was nice for as long as it lasted which wasn’t very long. Although the back of your mouth still gets some of a fainter taste to it. Has a minor bite with a bitter taste to it. I’d definetly drink this beer again.

Pours transparent amber, medium sized head, much lacing. More malt than expected (But I drink mostly IPAs). It’s OK, not spectacular.

Bottle. Pours a lighter amber with s good head and decent lacing. Nose is lightly hopped with some malts. Beer was flat with no flavor hills and valley, no journey for the taste buds. One level of slight bitterness throughout. Sort of non-descript in an unoffensive way. Nothing special, a very average brew. Thanks to ogglethorp for this bottle.
