Description
Legend Brewing Company is a commercial microbrewery providing true premium beers to many of the best pubs and restaurants in Richmond and other areas of Virginia since January, 1994. 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.

On tap at Legend, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out bitter piney hop, biscuity malt and a hint of diacetyl. Flavour is quite bitter, with lots of piney hops and crisp biscuity malt. Bitter, unbalanced and lacking depth. This is weak.

On tap at Legend, pours a hazy amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out tart raspberries with a touch of Belgian yeast. Flavour brings out a wheaty base, with light raspberries and a touch of saison yeast. Not a whole lot of depth, but it works alright.

On tap at Legend, pours a deep dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out faint toasted coconut and earthy malt. Flavour is strange, with artificial coconut and some red fruits. Very artificial and not dialed in properly.

On tap at Legend, pours a deep dark brown / near-black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out toasted malt and some bready notes. Flavour is along the same lines, with toasted malt and a hint of earthy cocoa. Nothing special here, but it's drinkable.
