Description

Our mission is to bring to our customers the finest and freshest brews as flavorful alternatives to mass-marketed mainstream products. We're one of the few craft breweries in this region producing both lagers and ales, which require different yeasts and maturation conditions. All Legend beers are unpasteurized and made from only two-row and specialty barley malt, hops, water and yeast.

Bottle from a branch of Total Wine in Sterling, Virginia. Deep brown in colour, with moderate carbonation and rocky, off-white, head. An easy-drinking brown ale, with some brown sugar, bready malts, a hint of leafy hop and gentle finish. Fine.

Sampled from a bottle this beer poured an orange-brown color with a medium sized foamy tan head that lingered. The aroma was sweetish and malty with a touch of toffee. The flavor was sweet and malty with caramel, molasses, a bit of dark fruit, wood, bread dough and a hint of smoke. Medium length finish. Medium body.

On tap at Legend, pours a deep dark brown / near-black with a small beige head. Aroma brings out subdued bourbon, with toasted malt. Flavour is obscured, with faint bourbon and light toasted malt. Pretty weak and lacking structure. Uninteresting.
