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.

True to style, this brew has an English hop bitterness, with limited malt sweetness. Dark amber color, and weak head.

12 oz. bottle. Pours an amber gold with nice off white (slightly tan) head. Aroma of lemony hops. Tastes like citrusy hops with ever so slight malt malt balance. Watery, or at least a taste of water noticeable. This is not bad, but i think overrated.

Amber color with an aroma of apricots, earthy malt and citrus hops. Flavor is caramel loaf, light red fruits, bitter hops and a warming finish. Body is medium with low carbonation. Good but not stand-out.

12 oz. bottle- FIRST DRINK- Malty, full flavor, not bad. LAST DRINK- Gets better as it warms, the malt is less prominent.

12 oz bottle. I’ve never been a big fan of this style. It’s too malty for my tastes. Not much of a head here. Smells of molasses and malt. Nice amber hue. Definitely a quality beer. It’s drinkable, but I don’t forsee ever buying this again.

No evident aroma, but complex flavor. Caramel and light toffee with a very good hop balance.

Cask at the brewery 7/16/09. Pours a nice amber, with only mild earthy hops aroma. Good bitter, but pretty mild. Smooth with clean finish. Decent example of the style, though I feel the cask makes me biased.
