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.

Had this one a while back, Bottle to glass. I just wrote down my ratings. Small head, spare lacing. Amber Color. Flavor of mollasses, and light hops.

Bottle. Amber color. Pear, flowery hops and some tropical fruit in the sedate aroma. Pear, mango, just a touch of flowery and citric hops in the flavor. Hints of cinnamon and dust in the aftertaste. Decent, satisfyingly balanced ale.

Bottle@Home. Neutral aroma. Pale copper colour, off-white head, good lace. Sweetish, bitter, light malty, hint of toffee. Light sticky mouth feel and sparkling. Refreshing, ok session ale.

Pours a very light amber with a thin lacing head. Pretty evenly balanced between the malts and hops. Nothing really stands out for me. Pretty drinkable and I definitely like it, but forgettable nonetheless.

Bottle: Copper with a huge sandy head. Thick sheets of lacing. Nose is mostly malty and floral, with light citrus sweetness. Dry florals and nice bitters up front with a caramel and citrusy-sweet finish. Good lingering wet hops finish. Very nice session brew.

Bottle from Bierkoning. Nice golden body with quick-receding head. Nice malty and toffee nose. Slightly watery. But nice punch to it. Well-balanced and well done.

Poured pale copper and slightly hazy. A short white ring of foam appeared. Spots of lacing. The aroma was mild citrus and some old hops and iced tea. The flavor followed suit. Some light spice came out towards the end. Thin body, sort of refreshing. Not terrible.

Mine poured a dark cloudy orange. The head was freaking huge and thick; slight beige with the consistency of bubble bath! Citrus caramel in the nose with something else I just can’t place. Tastes a bit caramelly with little malt. Hoppy finish with a bitter aftertaste. It’s a little overly carbonated as the fizz burned on the tongue. This is unusual, but not bad.
