3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle, sampled in May of 2006: Pours a clear copper orange with a thin wispy-lacing white head. Nice, fresh piny grapefruity hoppy aroma has a touch of pale malty sweet balance. Body starts with a fresh green bittering hoppy presence and a touch of malty sweetness before a dry, bittersweet finsih. A crisp, drinkable APA.

22 oz bomber -- Poured with a big ol’ foamy head. Interesting aroma of malt cookies and hop buds. Odd mix. Musty. Nice hoppiness but with a pretty powerful hoppy aspect. Very good, but different.

Aroma is piney, a little citrusy. Hazey orange pour with a good off white head.
Lemony malts with a nice bitter finish. I would buy this again....now if only Legend made enough to distribute further North....hmm...

Thanks to Numenor for this.
Tall, three dimensional head of off-white that rides over a deep, clear amber body.
Light malt and hop aroma.
The flavor balacne is malty with some underlying bitterness. Some dryness in the finish. Smooth, easy drinking.

On cask: Cloudy dark amber with a good creamy head. Orange rind aroma. Good balance of maltiness and citrus hops. Perfect session beer. AR: 4 AP: 4 FL: 4 PA: 3 OV: 4
On tap: Clear copper amber. Good head. Hops are milder, less fresh tasting. Cask version is definitely the superior beer by a long shot. Rating is the average of the two. AR: 3 AP: 4 FL: 3 PA: 3 OV: 3.5
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Amber/gold color. Smell of malt and soem hops. Taste of hops, air and malt with an airy bitterness at the end.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Pours clear amber, loose white head. Butter and butterscotch aroma, with asparagus bitterness and some hops. Hop flavors are too distinct, separated from and above everything else. Metallic and sour grapefruit, sharp.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Poured a mostly clear dark gold with a small white head. Fruity sweet aroma with thick malt. Light earthy hops. The flavor was malty with hops and bitterness starting up pretty quickly. Long finish.
