Historical rating, bottle - source not noted. Pale gold colour with white head, aroma of grass and hops. Fairly high in carbonation, medium sweetness. Disappointing really.

330ml bottle from Plonkers, Derby. Amber with a rapidly fading off-white head; musty corn aroma; lacking any real flavour or finish, a tasteless and sweet concoction. Avoid.

[i] [b] Bottle picked up from Sainsburys Kidlington, Oxon consumed 11-06-08 [/i] [/b] Labelled as 3 Legends, but in small writing on back of bottle it does mention Legends Export Lager. Pours clear light gold, white bubbly fast receding head, sweet and malty, corny unimpressive tasteless lager, I’ll see if I can palm the other three beers off to neighbours before Loz tells me "I told you that stuff looked rubbish"

Bottle. Slightly sweet barley malt aroma. Golden yellow with thin film of a head. Syrupy sweet barley malt flavor. High acidity. Not cloying but still a bit too much on the sweet side.

Süßer und leicht künstlicher Geruch. Auch der Antrunk ist so gestrickt, komisch künstlich, etwas süß, nicht wirklich lecker. Im Mittelteil etwas "normaler", leicht hopfig, weniger süß. Im Abgang wird das Ganze dann noch milder, was zu einer deutlichen Aromenschwöche führt, der Hopfen führt ein schwaches Untergrund-dasein. Schwache Leistung. Test vom 16.2.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 5,4,7,4,8,4 - 4,75

Bottle, labelled Legends Export. RBESG 2005, Grand Tasting. My first Barbados beer. Typical pale lager appearance. Some hops in the otherwise "industrial" aroma. Terrible industrial metallic flavour.

A light yellow beer with a disappearing white head. The aroma is primarily of wet cardboard, though some faint hints of hops can be found. The flavor is of plastic and cardboard, on a sour, brewing cereal background, though with a slightly hoppy end. This beer is definately not a legend - not even under a palm tree in the scorching heat.
