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.

Has aromas of hops and some spice. The head retention is disappointing but the flavor is rather interesting. It tastes of carmel, some spices and a little hoppy. It’s mildly complex, but nothing terrific.

12 oz bottle. Pours clear copper with thin off-white head. Aroam is mild floral hops, caramel malts and some light spices. Flavor has light hop punch with caramel and sweet malts with touch of spice. Nice refreshing brew based with caramel flavor and light hop bite. Nice session ale.

12 oz Bottle@Bishop’s Arms, Järntorget, Göteborg. A thin filmy foam over an opaque, golden brown colored body. Rich aroma of cream-caramel and fresh tropical fruits. Taste is sweet caramel/toffee balanced by a sharpish, fruity hop bitterness. Medium-bodied. Sweetish malts and a more gentle bitterness in the finish. A very nice one, suitable as a session-beer.

Taste 8/8 bottle (4/08 brew date). Looks: Nice iced tea color that I associate with ESB. Aroma: Sour/sweet grain. Very mild floral hop freshness. Taste: Thin to medium bodied. Very mild hops, just a little spice. Yeasty and a little sour. Mild must. Creamy for an esb.

Bottle. Pours a fuzzy tea color, with fluffy white head and spotty creamy lacing. Sweet molasses covered oats in the nose, brown sugar, some distant grainy corn. Smooth malt essence in the flavor, fairly rich, such as caramel and some sweet candy-like notes. Very good. Drinkable and so smooth, yet crisp and refreshing.

12oz bottle. Pours a nice amber-orange with a big pillow top. Aroma is lightly sweet while the flavor is very nice. Clean and crisp with just enough sweetness. A very nice session beer. In fact, I didn’t want to rate it, because I was too busy drinking it. 6/5/8/4/16

Had it on draft at longmont. Nice tasting beer. Better as average because of it’s bitter taste.
