Banks (Barbados) Legends Export

Brewed by Hepworth
Style: Pale Lager
Horsham, England

Bottle@Home. Malty, light fruity, herbal hops. Small beige head, yellow colour, hazy, good lace. Sweet, light bitter, light fruity, some yeast. Medium body for a lager. Refreshing, interesting.

Bottled, pasteurised, 330ml from Beers of Europe, Norfolk. Pale yellow gold with CO2 head. A pretty faithful copy of the original, drunk at the same time, but how difficult is it to copy a pale, sweet malt lager. There is a little less hop impact and just a touch more of the corn, vanilla note. It loses to the original, but only just.

Pours a fizzy yellow. Aromas of grains, mild hops, with a little skunk. Flavor is crisp, and taste like it smells.

Orange and quite well carbonated. Medium head but not a lot of taste.Only to be tried if you are really desperate.

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.

Bottle picked up from Sainsburys Kidlington, Oxon consumed 11-06-08 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. Comes as "Barbados Legends". My # 500th pale lager on RB. Courtesy of yespr. Pours a clear golden colour with a small fairly lasting head. Weak straw aroma. Mild bit sweet graint straw flavour.

Bottle. [thank you, Yespr]
My 2600th rating
Pours deep golden, head disappears immediately. Aroma has grass, light cardboard and weakly fruity. Very high carbonation. Light dry and lots of sweetness.
