Clear apple juice body topped by medium white head. Aroma is mild sweet, biscuit, light honey, grassy. Taste is mild sweet, fruity, grassy, light honey. Light-medium body, with refreshing crispness. Another fine beer from Legend.

22oz bottle acquired in trade with The_Beer_God (thanks for being by Legend source!). Poured a medium golden color with an averaged sized white head. Very strong buttery aroma. It was hard to get around it. It wasn’t as bad in the tastes. Tastes of grass and had a ligh spiciness to it.

Pours a clear bright golden with a frothy white head. Aroma of light caramel malt, some floral grassiness and noble hops. Starts lightly pale malty and dry with a touch of tartness before a crisp saaz-hoppy, dry finish. Very smooth and enjoyable, a nice pilsener. Thanks Kinz!

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.

22oz bottle pours bright, clear yellow with a nice looking medium-thick white head. Nose of candied biscuit malts, light, grassy, dry hops, some greeness, some twang, but overall fairly nice and inviting. Taste is crisp, wet, hoppy, and full on the palate; resinous honey flavored cracker malts and oily, sharp hop leaves... there’s something just really odd about this beer, the texture and fullness and freshness is impressive, and a strong flavor resembling Belgian candy sugar throughout the drink is both surprising and enjoyable.

Hazy golden color with a tall fluffy white head. Full aroma of both herbal and floral hops; different, but intriguing. Mild pale malt in the backdrop. Lightly grainy malt with flavors of mild lemon grass and some dry spice. Seems a bit closer to a dort than a pils. Full malt flavors with a mild acidic bite. Looking at the range of ratings it looks like there could be some packaging faults present. Reminds me of Bürgerbräu Wolnzacher Hell. Thanks to Jeffc666 for this brew.

750 ml bomber. I was very impressed with this pilsner. Poured gold with good white head. Aroma of malt, hops, some honey, and slight chardonnay. Tastes malty, with a nice hit of honey, slight hops, and crisp smoothness at the finish. This is an excellent pils. I have been very impressed with all the Legend beers that I have tried.
