4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
UPDATED: FEB 9, 2005 Quite light gold. Nose malty and sweet, lightly fruity, bit toasty. Very nice flavor, initially quite sweet and fruity, bit rich and buttery. Ends with a kiss of hops, but sweetness keeps forward. More fruity than expected, but quite good. Full palate. Nice.

The name says it all. Legend.
But I have to put at least 75 characters.
Don’t want to bore you stop reading. It is a legend. No need to confuse with rice-urine.

Aroma is just screaming ’helles’ to me. Slightly spicy hops, some strawish malt. Chewy malts, nicely textured, good mouthfeel. Lemony touches late. I’m impressed.
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
22 oz. bottle. Pours golden with a thick creamy head and excellent lacing. Creamy taste, with a subtle hoppiness, but also very clean tasting. Nice effort.

Golden and clear from the bottle without much head. Aromas of blueberries and honey. Tastes similar to Albita Purple Haze.

As far as easy-drinking, light lagers go, this one is great. Sure, it’s light and underwhelming to the tastebuds, but it doesn’t entirely compromise flavor. As long as you didn’t just drink an IPA, this beer does have some nice, however subtle, hop/malt characteristics. Tastes much better on draft.

Largish draught sample at the brewpub. Light clear gold pour with a touch of head and lots of continuous bubbling....soft grassy-leafy nose with just a hint of butterscotch, really a pleasant sweet tang rather than full-blown diacetyl grossness, also a hint of German yeast and rough farmhouse bread-dough.....really clean, smooth body with hints of a rustic, weedy meadow softened by rain....earthy/grassy, thirst-quenching with a beautiful carbonation level, soft but somehow a little gritty and lively as well....light yeast, unfiltered and unpasteurized, rustic and charming and absolutely full of flavor.....truly excellent lager, sadly underapreciated, and among the best of the fine beers I tried at this excellent brewpub.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft. Pours pale gold, with aroma of malt, hops, and some honey. Tastes malty, sweet, with some honey and hops at the finish. Somewhat light on mouthfeel but extremely smooth and crisp. This is one delicious lager.
