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.

Oct. 2006 - Beer poured amber brown, decent head. Flavor and aroma were bready with some woody mustiness that was really pleasant. Some floral notes rounded out a nice tasting brew. A bit thin, but enjoyable.

Pours a clear iced tea brown with a frothy off-white head that leaves behind wispy lace. The nose features toasted malt with lesser notes of nuts and sweetbread. Medium-bodied with soft carbonation and a clean, lightly dry and mildly bitter finish. The flavor is fairly simple but pleasing, with toasted caramel malt up front and a lightly astringent and bitter hop finish. Not a bad ESB; this is a solid session beer.

brown/orange in color, minimal frothy head. hazy. nose of hops and grapes. smells quite pleasing to me. surprisingly smooth. the initial taste was intimidating but it smoothed out great. tasted to me, as if an apricot got into a fist fight with a grape. really enjoyed the flavor. not as bitter as i was expecting as this was my first ESB. very pleasing.

BOTM, Darkish amber pour with lots of carbonation. Moderate white head that dissipates over a minute or so. Not a lot of smell, but what I can get is hops. Taste is very clean, no aftertaste. Well balanced beer.

Pours a nice amber with small offwhite head. Aroma is mainly hops. Taste is a good balance between hops and caramel malt. Not a bad beer.

From bottle : Pours a cloudy carbonated semi-dark amber color with a quarter finger of white foamy head. Nose is pretty hoppy, with a underlying smell of malt extract. Taste is malty, with little amounts of caramel working its way through to my palate. Finish is very clean, with no real aftertaste that im getting. Medium body, with a palate that dies to very bland after it first enters the mouth.
