Apr 28, 2008 This is an outstanding session ale from an outstanding small brewery. The good folks at Legend have done an excellent job of recreating a classic English style with this one. Understatement, balance, and harmony are apt descriptors. Unfortunately, it’s a seasonal offering and (at the moment) a limited release -- from a brewery with limited distribution. A visit to the brewpub on the James River will not be a waste of time, though, rest assured.

Jan 31, 2007 On tap at the brewpub. Clear, dark gold with a small white head. Light, sweet malt nose, weak caramel and a hint of grass. Flavor is more of the same, a light breadiness is added. Finishes with light grass and floral. Yup, it’s a mild.

Nov 26, 2006 Draft at Legend. Amber bodied. Small white head. Nose is light malts, faint caramel, and flowery hops. I also picked up some metal in the aroma, maybe iron. That happened towards the end of the pint, though. Taste is creamy malts, light fruit, soft yeast, and some buttery notes. There’s also more light floral hops. Body is light, but chewy. I mild carbonation throughout. Finishes with caramel, buttery malts and more floral hops.

Sep 25, 2006 Draft at pub, glad they decided to throw out a mild! Copper appearance, little head. Very, very faint caramel aroma. Light bodied, flavor was of light caramel and decent hop bitterness on the finish, leaning towards spicy. Nice session beer, which is what it was supposed to be. Perhaps a tad more carbonation than needed, but enjoyable.

Sep 24, 2006 On tap at the brewery. Copper pour with thin white head. Nose was barely perceptible, even after it warmed, with a hint of sour malt. Flavor has more of the sour malt with a bit of fruitiness. On the thin side, but pretty sure that the point.

Sep 15, 2006 It pours an amber color with a thin white head. Strawberry and banana scents are evident in the aroma. This is a very smooth, slightly creamy, and lightly bitter ale. It has a fruity flavor and a slightly nutty after-taste.

Sep 12, 2006 Updated: Sep 24, 2006Tap at Legend Brewing -- A nice ruby-orange body with a thin white head. Good aroma, light caramel, honey, fruit and some malts. Great taste for the style, light hops, some wheat and a light fruit presence. Pleasent ending. If one wants to try a Mild Ale, this is a perfect example of what the style is suppose to be.
