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.

12oz bottle. Clear amber with large off-white head and lacing, rocky head. Aroma is slightly sour, sweeter with caramel. Flavor is much the same with that caramel sweetness, dry. Medium and light carbonation. Not all that interesting.

Bottle Pours a hazy golden with a good off white head. The head is airy and last okay. Has a good mixed aroma. Hops and malts seem to balance each other out. Has an oily texture. Good carbination. A pretty good mouthfeel. The flavors are very well balanced. A light body. A very drinkable beer. I like it.

Poured from bottle. I smell caramel, vanilla ice cream. Clear amber, persistent tan head. Malts beat out hops in the flavor, giving a nice creamy feel with a hop aftertaste. Will not be confused with an IPA. Low carbonation gives it a smooth feel. Finished nicely. Unique and good.

A bit better than the other ale in the variety pack. Enjoyed the balance of hops and malt. None of the overwhelming excitement of a great ale, but drinkable.

Pours clear amber with a nice beige head that leaves good lace. Aroma is sweet with slight citrus. Creamy caramel texture with a nice hop bite to it and some nutiness. This is a good beer.
