Oct 31, 2009 Lovely golden color with a very slight haze to it. Pours with little head or retention of. Good balance of hops and malt on the nose with a bit of fruit coming through. Dominating malt flavor with a very light hoppy finish. Has a good level of carbonation, quenches well. Has body to it.

Oct 27, 2009 Slightly hazy golden body with a foamy white head. Very light aroma with only a hint of piney hops along with some malty sweetness. Medium mouthfeel, a bit oily. This is actually a pretty tasty beer, but I don’t sense the hops that I would expect in an APA. More sweet malt characteristics, especially up front. There is an okay bitter finish with the hops finally showing their face. Quite drinkable, but not quite what it claims to be.

Sep 20, 2009 hazy yellow color, fluffy white head, s bit of lace. nose is sweet malt, grain, trace of hops. flavor is mostly sweetish malt, but i detect no hops. medium bodied, creamy mouth feel, dry finish. i detect no hops or hop bitterness at all and wonder why this would be considered a pale ale of any sort. i was disappointed. single bottle purchase form binny’s orland park.

Sep 15, 2009 Bottle. Standard golden color and a large white head to top it off. Aroma is yeast with some surprise fruit notes. First sip the flavor seems a bit odd with too much metal taste but I didnt get that later and overall enjoyed the sweet hoppy taste. Not really a refreshing beer but tasty.

Sep 5, 2009 12oz bottle. The Legend. Awesome citrus aroma. Deep pale golden color. Huge lace. Nice pale malt backbone. Sweet pale malt. Light toast. Very sweet along with a sharp Cascade hop. Smooth and sticky. Another very well done overall character for Mendocino Brewing Company. A great beer to enjoy while eating Beef Short Ribs with Spaghetti.
