Description

Our mission is to bring to our customers the finest and freshest brews as flavorful alternatives to mass-marketed mainstream products.

All Legend beers are unpasteurized and made from only two-row and specialty barley malt, hops, water and yeast.

Thanks to Numenor for this one! A large, light tan head tops this dark amber IPA. Bready malt aroma combines with nutty caramel and resiny hops. Moderately bitter with a good support from the malt, long, well balanced finish.

Thanks to Numenor for this. Tall, three dimensional head of off-white that rides over a deep, clear amber body. Light malt and hop aroma. The flavor balacne is malty with some underlying bitterness. Some dryness in the finish. Smooth, easy drinking.

Clear medium yellow broken by fine streams of tiny bubbles that form a white head above. The aroma is malty with just a slight appearance of the hops. Slightly sweet and light bodied. Easy drinking brew that doesn’t require a lot of thought.

Fairly clear deep gold with a tall, long lasting white head. Spicy clove aroma. Fairly well done Hefeweizen. Not too much malt sweetness with just the right amount of bite coming from the wheat. Good body.

Hazy amber with a creamy off-white head. Solid malt aroma accompanied by light flowery hops. The flavor is dominated by a smooth bitterness supported by a good malt base. Perhaps a bit one-dimensional. I’d like a bit more hop aroma and malt intensity.

Clear dark yellow with a frothy white head. Sweet malt aroma. The falvor in this really doesnt go anywhere. Light sweetness with a touch of dryness in the finish. Thin bodied. Solidly brewed, just unexciting.

I was less impressed by this Legend brew then I have with other ones they have done. This one was pretty good, with banana, orange, and spice flavors and aromas, and it was refreshing, but something in the palate just didn’t sit right with me this time.
