It's actually E Harmonic Minor if I'm reading your tab correctly.
The first octave of the scale you're skipping the A, and playing a D natural (ala E minor - E, F#, G, B, C, D, E). In the second octave, you're playing straight E Harmonic Minor (E, F#, G, A, B, C, D#, E). And then you're playing the first five notes of the third octave of E minor (E, F#, G, A, B).
Harmonic Minor is the same as Aeolian mode, but with a raised 7th (in this case the D# leading into the root of E)
You could also play this same scale in standard tuning like this:
E----------------------------------------------------------3--5--7
B-----------------------------------------------4--5--7-----------
G------------------------------------2--4--5----------------------
D-------------------------2--4--5---------------------------------
A--------------2--3--5---------------------------------------------
E---0--2--3--------------------------------------------------------
