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.

[At Stockholm Beer Festival 2005] A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is simply sweet malty, while the flavor is sweet with notes of caramel and toffee, with a grassy dry finish. OK flavor.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Clear amber with a creamy, off-white head leaving a neat lacework. Lovely nose full of aroma hops. Medium body with a caramelish sweetness and some great hops leaving more flavour and aroma than bitterness. Great brew. 200306

12 oz bottle. Pours clear orange golden with a creamy/crispy slight off white head. Malty sweet grapefruit aroma. Flavour is more dry than the aroma, giving a dry malt base with the fruitiness mildly adding in on top. Soft malty finish.

Bottled. Orange/copperish colour, small beige head. Weak fruit in aroma. Mild hops and fruit in flavour. Weak long hoppy aftertaste. Very mild beer in flavour overall.

Bottle, 4.8%. Nice hoppy aroma, fresh hops with caramel notes. Hazy caramel/brown colour. Small tan head. The flavour is almost as good as the aroma, nice bitterness and along the same lines as the aroma. Thin mouthfeel and unfortunately a watery aftertaste. OK as a summer beer, I guess.

Draught at the brewery. Clear orange coloured with a small white head. Aroma of malts, caramel, fruits, hops and grass. Fruity flavour of malts, caramel, hops and grass. Hoppy finish.
