Commercial Description:
Legend Golden ale is an IPA that is deep golden in color and not hopped as heavily as some other interpretations. This Legend cult classic has a full body and is very high in alcohol, at over 7% by volume. It is hopped with Mt. Hood for balance.

Pours gold with huge amounts of head. Glass still had leftover head caked on after a few hours. :) Tastes of small hops, but I didn’t get a taste of an IPA. No citrus backbone, no spices, kind of blah - of this is indeed an IPA. Might have to sample this one again.

good all around ale - not too hoppy, a little less carbonation than a lot of ’standard’ ales...a bit of a sourdough aroma - but in a good way, not skunky or anything of the sort...didn’t taste at all like 7% alcohol - not at all ’hot’ - bit of a tangy after-taste...a good choice for NFL Sunday!

Big hoppy flavor. Clear gold. Lemon pith finish. Stongly bitter, lightly sweet, lightly tart. Pizza dough over hops and maltin the aroma. Perhaps I’m smelling something from the kitchen. Different and deft, and though not the most balanced brew it has good hallmarkes. Some nuttiness in the finish.

Draft at Legend brewery: Slight caramel aroma. Clear amber color with a medium off white head. Tastes of dandelion, orange, honey, and caramel.. Grass and hop finish. Great tasting beer, but alcohol is bit too noticeable.

22 oz. brown bomber bottle. No freshness date seen. Bought cold. Poured out a clear orangish color, with a sticky white head. Aromas are of grapefruit, some apricots also, followed by sweet malts. Flavors are of malts, hops, slight alcohol burn. Decent body, thick & rich. Good beer overall.

Appearance: Pours a golden body with a foamy, creamy white head. Smell: Oh dear, here we go again... an aroma of butter and soiled socks. Taste: The flavor passes back and forth between greasy butter and abandoned cheese. Sure, there’s hops. Yes, there’s light caramel malts. It just not worth putting up with all that unpleasantness to get to it. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Slight stickiness to the mouthfeel. Drinkability: Another utter failure from this brewery. I have yet to come across a bottle from Legend that wasn’t a totally spoiled disaster!
