Sawtooth

◎ Appearance

Sawtooth presents a warm amber hue with bright clarity and a moderate, persistent head. The beer maintains good lacing as it's consumed, and shows lively carbonation appropriate to the style. The color reflects its blend of Crystal and Munich malts, sitting at 12 SRM with an inviting, approachable visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with clean maltiness—toasted grain and subtle caramel sweetness from the malt bill. Herbal hop character emerges with a light citrus undertone, courtesy of the Cascade and Willamette varieties, while CTZ and US Goldings contribute a spicy, grassy complexity. The aromatic profile is balanced and inviting, without aggressive hop intensity.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with rounded maltiness and a gentle caramel sweetness that establishes the beer's foundation. Mid-palate brings forward herbal and slightly citrusy hop flavors, creating a pleasant interplay between malt and bitterness. The 27 IBU provides structure without dominating, allowing the malt character to remain prominent while the finish transitions toward dryness.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and dry, with residual hop bitterness and herbaceousness lingering pleasantly on the palate. The aftertaste fades smoothly without harsh edges, leaving a balanced impression of both malt and hop character.
