3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Clear, bright gold appearance with a large white head and nice lacing. Toasty malt, herbal hop aroma with a mild grassy quality. Sweet malt taste with a touch of honey. More bitter and hoppier as it finishes. Medium bodied, decently carbonated mouthfeel. A very well constructed pils.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
22 oz. brown bomber bottle. Bought cold. No freshness date seen. Poured out a deep yellow color, with a minimal white head. Faded quickly to a thin ring of foam around the rim. Aromas are of yeasty bread, pils malts, earthy hops. Flavors are of pilsner malts, some yeasty character as well. Decent body, medium mouthfeel. Good take on the style, even if it’s a little too dark.

A bit weak on the aroma (musty) and carbonation. Substantial but light mouthfeel. Good flavor profile; just a touch of caramel and hops. Finishes bitter, and the bitterness lingers to obscure the next sip. Quite good, but not spectacular.

on tap-pours an off white head that laces and yellow color. Aroma is faint sweet light/medium malt, musty, lemon, grassy. Taste is sweet light/medium malt, secondary light hops bitterness, musty. OK carbonation.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
A pretty good pilsener, and I’m not even a pilsener fan. The flavor was rich and inviting. A nice bitter hoppiness is what really makes me like it.

Thanks to Tony for this and the other Legend bottles. Poured a deep golden color with a medium white head. Nice crisp taste, slightly sour aroma. Very hoppy (nice!) One of the better micro-brewed pilseners I’ve tasted.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
22oz bomber from my Secret Santa Numenor, no date. Pours a clear honey golden with a one finger off white head. The first thing I smell is butterscotch and remember smelling it (but not to this extent) in the other Legend beer I’ve had--their golden ale. I also smell some grassy hops and toffee. Flavors are the same with the butterscotch and toffee strongest, the Saaz hops more in the background. Surprisingly bitter finish, but doesn’t seem to be with every sip. Sharp carbonation on the tongue, though they are little bubbles. Medium bodied. This doesn’t taste very pilsenery to me, though it isn’t bad.
