COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Our latest offering attempts to address an old saying that has plagued mankind since its inception. Many times we’ve heard, "more is not always better". Invariably the person on the receiving end of such a statement scowls at the ramifications. Here at Left Hand we realize that life cannot be reduced to or understood in absolute terms. Our latest addition to our lineup attempts to take exception with such broad statements about the human condition. Chainsaw is a connoisseur version of our award-winning Sawtooth Ale, designed to befuddle silly generalizations about life. We hope you enjoy!

jujubeast6000 (854) - Houston, Texas, USA - OCT 24, 2006
Cloudy lightish brown/red color. Slight off-white head. Very nutty aroma, malty. Malty taste, somewhat acidic. Corn syrup sweet-like taste. Not too bad for a malty beer.

Bockyhorsey (2607) - Mesa, Arizona, USA - OCT 23, 2006
Big Bottle. A barnyard fermented silage aroma eminated from the glass. Wet barley grain. Murky caramel body with good head and decent lacing. A caramel flavor was present but the wet barley grain aroma was also in the flavor. Dry wet grain aftertaste on the palate. Brew worth a try the aroma and flavor were little complexing to me.

Suttree (4454) - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA - OCT 8, 2006
Murky brown, with a thin but persistant beoge head. Very sweet smelling, with a big caramel note mixed withtouches of chocolate and honey. Smooth caramel and toffee and a smooth bitterness at the end. Surprisingly enjoyable.

brewblackhole (1588) - Muskego, Wisconsin, USA - OCT 1, 2006
Dark fruit malt aroma,slight chocolate also, substanial head, can smell the alcohol, taste is malt some kind of wood, little hop in background, nice full body but really not complex enough to be rated higher

JPDIPSO (4956) - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA - SEP 14, 2006
Somewhat muddy umber color with a moderate beige/tan head. Heavy sheet of lace as it subsides. Caramel, toffee and toast mix with green hops, grapefruit, mildly solvent laden pine and resin. Ok, I have to get myself ready for a double ESB/Bitter, when do we get a double mild? Quite thick, but for all the sweetness it is in no way cloying. Smooth and quite soft throughout the swig. Mild toffee and caramel, followed by a burst of fruit, with plums, raisins and a light berry aside. Some balancing citric hops that also have a touch of dry wood to them. Hints of spice and alcohol in the finish and linger. Call it a double ESB, american strong, double amber, it still seems to translate to a average strong ale.

bfeldmann (1048) - Wilmington, Delaware, USA - SEP 6, 2006
Poured a red amber color with nice head and great lacing. Aroma was of light fruits and malts. Flavor was of caramel malts and brown suger hops in the aftertaste. Solid beer.
