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!

Pretty damn rustic ... very smooth and alcohol is pretty well hidden ..’i’m caca for coocoo puffs’ ... lacing is premium stuff ... caramel, molasses, some dust, ... a good brew but a stretch at $11 ... nothing spectacular, just the same old left hand bullshit...

Murky red brown body. Fruity maltiness, caramel and hops in the nose. Nice. Creamy malty taste with some slightly herbal hoppy bitterness going to the aftertaste. Notes of yoghurt. A good beer.
