On tap at the VBF. Pours a light amber with white head. Sour malt in the nose and flavor. Eh.

GreenDragon (219) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 4, 2006
Pours with a creamy medium white head on a golden body. Mild malty aroma with some hops filtering through. Strong allspice flavor initially. The hops kick in later. Good dry body with a decent amount of alcohol warming.

jstraw (1217) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - JAN 10, 2008
Toasted gold with big, foamy white head / Light, sour nose / Medium, clean bodied with decent, hoppy finish / Simple flavors of toasted grain and pine, with no trace of fruit / Lacking in any sort of complexity, still pleasant and easy drinking. A hoppy pilsner.

this was only OK, very bitter but no other hops characteristics...just bitter and then done. Nothing else really to the hops. Decently refreshing but nothing special.

Decent beer, but I don’t think of this as an IPA. Definitely has some hop character plus lots of malt. It is Golden!

freekyp (1296) - Thomasville, North Carolina, USA - DEC 31, 2011
Pours a pure golden with swaths of white sticky lacing. Aroma is fruit forward displaying grapefruit, orange, and some light berry. A nice biscuity backbone holds this brew together. It ends with a mild earthy hop finish, and a light malt sweetness that lingers on the tongue.

This bottle has a unicorn on it...yeah, that should have been a warning right there. It kind of tastes like what I imagine unicorn pee filtered through hay might taste like. All in all not the worst beer I have had...but certainly not one I’ll be keeping in my stable

jmuhops (666) - Winchester, Virginia, USA - AUG 23, 2005
Pours transparent orange with a two-finger creamy head. Nice effervescence. At least Legend seems to be aesthetically-abled. A big aroma of soapy and citrusy hops backed by bready malts. Flavor starts out excellent—just the right malt backbone—but finishes with a horrible taste that left me feeling as though I had just eaten a handful of grass. The nastiness sticks with you for a while.

Pale yellow color with a white head. Malty and grassy aroma. Lightly bitter flavor that finishes somewhat grassy
