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.

Caramel malts with some spicy hops, with hints of pine. Pours amber with a white head. Caramelly, sweet crystal malts, with spicy hops. Good ESB, makes a good session beer!

Pours clear amber with a medium sized white head. Aroma is malty with a touch of hops. Hop and malt flavors balance nicely, however neither is very outstanding. Mouthfeel is good. Ok beer.

Pours clear light bronze with a soapy light tan head. The aroma has caramel malt, light hops, a touch of sourdough and some cane sugar. Medium / light crisp body with gentle carbonation. The flavor starts with metalic caramel malt and some non-descript bitter hops. The finish seems oxidized, but it has a fairly fresh bottling date. Fair.

2008-06-24. Dark orange amber body, small off white head. Muted lightly hoppy aroma. Similar flavour, light hop, mild bitterness. Just a touch of a cardboard note along side a caramel malt character indicating it might be a touch past its prime - but I also assumed this was an American Pale, I see now that it is not. Average palate. Bottle from Mabel’s Florida trip.

Sampled in a 22. Very nice. Has a dark brown hue and a nice malty finish. Aftertaste is smooth and nice. Overall a very nicely made beer.

Bottle. Murky brown and almost red with a big bubbled, short lived head. Aroma is toast and stale hops. Flavor is really malty (past it’s prime?), Metalic, honey and a bit bready. Just a bit sweet.

Bottle at Kuma’s. Pretty similar to Censored. A bit bready and cardboardy, though not really in a bad way. Some crystal malt character with some hops. Mouthfeel is reasonable. Overall, it wasn’t anything extravagant or outstanding. Was pretty decent, however.

Even though it is not to style I like the hoppiness in this beer. Pours amber with a medium head. Malty aroma. Taste is initially malty but then the hops come through.
