22 oz. Bottle. Aroma- Citrusy and floral hop aroma. Appearance-Some sweet caramel. Deep amber with a red tint. Modest off white head. Taste- Piney citrusty flavor from hops. Some caramel poking through. Very bitter all the way through. Not a bad IPA.

Bottle from the secret room. Nice copper pour with a thick white head. Nice hops flavor and aroma. By far the best offering from a otherwise not so great brewery.

Pours reddish orange with a thin off white head. Aroma is nice sweet floral hops and actually a little bit nutty. Taste is those same flavors up front, but then the hops turn a little too bitter at the end adn this prevents it from being a really good beer, although it is still pretty good.

Tap. Pours clear light amber with a medium head that lasts. Light aroma - faint citrus notes and a litte maltyness. Flavor is malt dominated, sweet and bready with backnotes of citrus and pine and a mildly bitter finish. Overall a good beer, but a little strong on the malt.

This is a beer for hopheads only. very thin body, low malt presence. Basically just a lot of hops which is not necessarily a bad thing if you want a lighter beer without sacrificing a lot of flavor

Really nice ale. Thanks to to Kinz for the SS delivery. Hazy, deep golden with a huge meringue-like head that left slowly leaving a nice lacing on the glass. Looks like apple cider almost. Nose is heavy grapefruit which I love. Reminds me of the Rogue Brutal Bitter but not nearly as bitter. Little bit fruity - Granny Smith appley. Nice hop texture and depth. I could drink this anytime, anywhere. Must experience more of this Legend brewery I have been introduced to.

Wasn’t sure what expect from this. Mine was labeled 17th Anniversary @ 7%. This beer has a huge malt forward profile. Almost cream like, with a touch of caramel sweetness. Make no mistake, however, tons of hops sneak up on the back end. Perfect birterness. Overall, this is a complex beer that is immensely satisfying. With a name like "Hopfest" I was thinking more IPA. I must say this was a pleasant surprise.

22 oz. bottle. Pours a clear, dark amber with a large off-white head. Very caramely aroma with citrus and foral hop notes as well. The flavor starts off very hoppy followed by caramel, vanilla and raisin with a dry and bitter finish. Interesting IPA - kind of feels closer to a double IPA.

Deep amber color much like an American IPA. Nice carbonation and thick head. Orange citrus and evergreen on the nose and quite bitter on the palate. This beer like many of Legend’s recent brews lacks considerable body and interesting qualities. Not bad by any means but I would look elsewhere for a more solid IPA.

Very bitter...easy start but very strong finish...you can tell they they best at brewing "hoppy" beers but I could see this beer getting better over time...
