Common descriptors are The brewers of Legend are proud to bring you our latest seasonal offering, Legend British Mild Ale. This “session” beer is a light bodied and quaffable ale geared towards the drinker who is looking for a low alcohol beer, but still appreciates good flavor.
Is this “Legend Light”? Well, not really as it comes in at around 4% alcohol by volume. It is, however, a less aggressive brew that will neither bloat the belly nor cloud the head.
This subtle ale is not at all a complicated beer. Delicacy calls for simplification of ingredients. Three malts, one hop, and one yeast were used, that’s all. We began with a unique and very charismatic British yeast strain that is responsible for the predominance of flavor and aroma. The malts are Pale Malt and Belgian Biscuit Malt, with a touch of Chocolate Malt. The lone hop is British Perle.
Look for a light tan color, not quite as reddish brown as a Dark Mild Ale. The aroma is fruity (pears, cider) with a hint of hop spiciness. The palate is lean, emphasizing toasty malt flavors blended with fruity esters. The finish is dry. |
