Left Hand Sawtooth Ale

Bottle from Sam’s. Pours bright copper with thin white head. I tend to forget how much I like this style and often wonder why I don’t see more ESBs around. Crisp bitter hops but with a nice caramel malt presence. Great clean, crisp, light mouthfeel. It’s pretty average, but I like this beer.

Tap. Beer was quite good, aroma ranged from malty to hoppy, and flavors matched aroma.

Pours clear copper, with a thin beige head, fine and lasting lacing. Smells of caramel, almond, bread and grass. Medium-thin, velvety crisp body. Caramel and bread flavors up front, then nutty and mineral characteristics start mid-palate and last into the finish with very mild bitter citrus and grass notes. Very well balanced and drinkable.
