mcberko	2.3 Legend Beer Dunkel On tap at Legend Beer Brewhouse, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma brings out crunchy herbal notes, toasted bready malt, and skunky vegetal notes. Flavour is along the same lines, with toasted nuts, some herbal notes and crunchy vegetables. Way too vegetal and somewhat stale. Drinkable. Thursday, July 27, 2017
mcberko	2.9 Legend Beer Lager On tap at Legend Beer, pours a cloudy golden orange with a medium white head. Aroma brings out notes of straw and light bready malt. Flavour is similar, with notes of grass, straw and crisp biscuity malt. Clean and refreshing, but nothing special. Wednesday, July 26, 2017

jmgreenuk	3.3 Legend Beer Dunkel Tap at the brewpub. Poured a hazy reddish brown with a thin off white head. The aroma is sweet caramel malt, light smoke. The flavour is light sweet with a light floral hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Friday, April 29, 2016
jmgreenuk	3 Legend Beer Lager Tap at the brewpub. Poured a hazy straw colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is light malt. The flavour is moderate bitter with a yeasty, light hop bitter palate. Refreshing but a little average. Friday, April 29, 2016
ALLOVATE	3.9 Legend Beer Lager Notes from 2015. Draft at the Coffee House Restaurant, Hanoi. Have to go against the grain on this one. Enjoyed many a pint of this one over time. Sunny medium gold body that is bright and alive with a tight, streaming carbonation.. Two inches of rocky foam atop holds and needs its bitter goodness chewed off before imbibing. Peppery, minty and earthy Noble hop nose balanced by a clean, toasted malt profile. Solid malt on the palate; quite firm whilst still being delicate with the lively carbonation seeing it bounce across the palate. Good malt meets good hop and after the first sip it is all one melded and flavoursome lager. Hoppy, bitter and earthy; I’d say a mixture of Czech and German Nobles (?). Ends crisp with plenty going on before and after the scenes. Very nice drinking and a surprisingly good Vietnam staple! (5 Dinh Tien Hoang, Hanoi, Vietnam) Friday, April 8, 2016
ALLOVATE	2.9 Legend Beer Dunkel Notes from 2015. Draft at the Coffee House Restaurant, Hanoi. Cola brown and opaque asides a glimmer of light in the very shallows. Proud and resilient off-white foam laces well. Smoke, earth, tar and molasses on the nose - another high point but it was down hill from there. Buttery but lean on the palate. Sticky roasted malt jars and is like pure burnt treacle and blackstrap. Carbonation is light and spritzy. Woody with a touch of ash and smoke in the linger to try to bring it back. Not off-putting just off-balanced. Much preferred the Pilsener over this one! (5 Dinh Tien Hoang, Hanoi, Vietnam) Friday, April 8, 2016

KansaiBeerLvrs	3.3 Legend Beer Dunkel On tap in Hanoi. Dunkel is pitch black with mahoganey highlights and a 1cm head of beige foam. The aroma is syrupy, cocoa fudge. Similar raspy carbonation and light body as the lager. The taste is a rich fudge caramel. Pretty good. Friday, August 21, 2015
KansaiBeerLvrs	3.2 Legend Beer Lager Lager is a deep gold with a thick dense head and a grassy, herbal aroma with mild malt notes. Raspy carbonation on a light body. The taste is very green earthy and bitter with not much malt character. Not really my thing but well made. Friday, August 21, 2015

marcusrr	4.5 Legend Beer Weizen A German-style ‘witbier’ is the pick of the Legend bunch. Smooth and fruity, quite strong but lots of flavour punch. Tuesday, January 22, 2013
marcusrr	4 Legend Beer Dunkel Not as tasty as the Louisiane dark beer, but a good nutty and well rounded beer nonetheless. Tuesday, January 22, 2013
marcusrr	4 Legend Beer Lager From a German-run microbrewery in Hanoi, this is a delicious Pilsner-style lager, with a flavoursome bitter end notes. Tuesday, January 22, 2013
deanso	2.8 Legend Beer Lager On tap at the brewpub in hanoi. Thin white head. Hazy blond pour. Citrus taste. . Tuesday, January 8, 2013

motelpogo	2.7 Legend Beer Dunkel on tap at the brewery bar in hanoi, sitting out on the balcony. more proof that it’s easier to make a drinkable dark lager than a pale one. just a steady dark brown with a thin cream head; light aroma of stewed stonefruit; somewhat thin and watery with hints of rye and cocoa powder. drinkable enough Friday, June 8, 2012
motelpogo	2 Legend Beer Lager on tap on the balcony of the brewpub. yellowish with an enthusiastic head; raw and porridgey aroma of unfermented grain; some baking soda flavour with hints of cream cheese but thankfully a reasonably crisp finish Tuesday, May 15, 2012

jolo	3 Legend Beer Lager Sunday, February 26, 2012
jolo	3 Legend Beer Dunkel On tap at Legend bar, Hanoi. A dark brown colour with a creamy, off-white head. An aroma of malt, coffee and caramel. The taste is medium sweet and light salty. A medium body, watery texture, soft carbonation and a medium long finish. Tuesday, November 1, 2011
dnoaksson	2.2 Legend Beer Lager En mycket generell öl. Det specifika får inget utrymme i denna öl, som är mer framgångsrikt i att hitta minsta gemensamma nämnare än att någonting annat - som att identifiera sig och visa att den har något som kan kallas eget. Karaktärsdragen är snarare som vaga signalement. Sunday, July 10, 2011
Oakes	3.1 Legend Beer Lager Pale yellow and hazy. Bready with fruity notes. Doughy soft beer with light fruity hop character. Low bitterness. Interesting - reminds of some USSR brewpub lagers. Tuesday, October 27, 2009
Oakes	3.4 Legend Beer Dunkel Draught at the Hoan Kiem restaurant Dark brown with some haze. The aroma is toasty with light molasses and nuts. Chewy sweet malts, vaguely nut/molasses oriented. Finishes relatively dry for the style. Tuesday, October 27, 2009
Beershine	3 Legend Beer Dunkel Draft @wpub. Very dark brown with red tint in light. Gentle aroma is malty with huskiness in the end and some plummy fruit in the middle. Quaffable palate. Medium carbonation is soft but lively. A little husky but has solid genuine malty goodness. A dry but slightly burnt finish. Nice dry dunkel. Friday, October 23, 2009
Beershine	3.1 Legend Beer Lager Draft @ brewpub. Nice medium gold with chill haze, thick foamy head. Aroma is fresh, mildly worty, clean and cerealy. Lacking in the hop department. Clean palate, smooth and soft. The flavors come through with a surprisingly hoppy punch, making this a balanced, honest German-style lager. Very nice malt character with floral hops to boot. Friday, October 23, 2009
nate2g	3.3 Legend Beer Dunkel Draught at Legend Beer, Hanoi. Dark brown with creamy beige head. Sweet malt, caramel and coffee are dominate. Smooth and bitter finish. I enjoyed a few of these. Saturday, September 26, 2009
nate2g	2.9 Legend Beer Lager Draught at Legend Beer, Hanoi. Golden with creamy white head. Hoppy aroma and malty flavours. Not great balance here though it could do with a touch more malt. Bitter, hoppy finish. I wasn’t a big fan of this pils. Saturday, September 26, 2009
TBone	2.9 Legend Beer Dunkel Draught@Hoan Kiem/City center location. I ate some yellow chili before this :) Dark nut brown color, steady creamy beige head, some lace. Aroma of brewing mash and chocolate. Flavor is very chocolaty with toasted malts in the aftertaste. Caramelly, fizzy, Czech-type dunkel. Sunday, March 1, 2009
TBone	2.1 Legend Beer Lager Draught@Hoan Kiem/City center location. Golden color, good creamy head. Brewing mash, malts and ash in the nose. Harsh alcoholic flavor with some hoppyness. Some brewing mash too in the flavor. Not very personal, but has at least some kick in it. I was not as excited as Per. Sunday, March 1, 2009
omhper	3.7 Legend Beer Dunkel Draught at Legend, HoanKiem location. Very dark brown with creamy beige head. Light caramel aroma. Medium sweet with a wealth of coffee with cream. Soft and mild, dryijng towards a lightly salty finish with more coffee. A strict and perfectly balanced very German style beer. Sunday, May 25, 2008
omhper	3.7 Legend Beer Lager Draught at Legend, HoanKiem location. Hazy pale golden, rich creamy head. Evident grassy nose. Very dry, crisp and grainy with lots and lots of grassy German hops. Strict and correct, an unfiltered arch-German pilsener. Extremely dry and bitter. If there’s anything to complain about it would be that the ligh tbody struggles to uphold the bitterness, which makes it slightly metallic. An excellent effort and a bit of a change of pace with a German style beer in Hanoi, wher nearly all brewpubs are strongly rooted in the Czech tradition. Sunday, May 25, 2008
omhper	2.9 Legend Beer Weizen Draught at Legends, HoanKiem location. Cloudy golden, creamy head. Fruity phenolic nose. Rather sweet and light bodied. Wheat malt and phenols are evident, esters are nor. A bit mushy but still refreshing. A reasonable weizen, and the only one I could find in Hanoi. Sunday, May 25, 2008
Theis	2.1 Legend Beer Dunkel Draught at the brewpub. Black - light brown head. Dry burned, light chokolate, some berries, light butter, medium carbonated - not bad !! Monday, March 26, 2007
Theis	1.7 Legend Beer Lager Draught at the brewpub. Clear yellow - white head. Straw, hay, butter - lots of butter, light citrus. Very unpleasant with all that butter !! Monday, March 26, 2007
strings	2.9 Legend Beer Weizen Draught at Legends Beer restaurant. My general thinking that pretty much any wheat beer will usually be at least ok appears to hold up even in Vietnam. Pours a darkish orange with a nice looking foamy head that disappears quickly. Tastes of orange peel and wheat. Flavour is fairly rich and satisfying, but does suffer a tad from a slightly garbagey finish. Monday, October 9, 2006
