Legend Golden ale is an IPA that is deep golden in color and not hopped as heavily as some other interpretations. This Legend cult classic has a full body and is very high in alcohol, at over 7% by volume. It is hopped with Mt. Hood for balance.

Bottle. Pours a brilliant orange ambre with a huge head. Sweet citrus, grapefruit, mango, butterscotch, and almost a slight caramel aroma. Outstanding. Flavor is along the same lines, with a lot of butterscotch up front, followed by a very nice long hop linger. I like this one!

Crystal clear blonde coloured body with a light orange tint and a fast dissolving white head. Aroma of malt, cardboard, stale hops and scotch or vermouth. Medium to Light-bodied; Strong alcoholic flavour up front with a lingering pineyness and an unpleasant bitterness throughout. Aftertaste shows more of the same bitter flavours, no hops and hardly any malt. Overall, a pretty bad beer-not an IPA in my mind-where are all the hops? I sampled this fresh (bought two weeks prior) 65 cL bottle purchased at Norm’s in Vienna, Virginia on 26-November-2004 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.
