Notes:
In the image of an English IPA, Legend Golden is a big, full-bodied brew with the perfect balance between malty sweetness and hop bitterness. Years ago, as an experimental brew, this underdog of a beer found its way into the hearts of Legend patrons and became a cult classic in Richmond. Legend Golden has been described as a "high class malt liquor" by a notable source. This strong ale sports a rich gold color, an aroma of sweet malt and clean hops, and an earthy, fruity flavor.

Had this from a cask that had Citra hops
A - Dark Amber with lots of carbonation and lacing
S - Lots of Citra hops with some sweet bread
T - Bready with some citra hops, resembled an Amped up Pale ale to me...
M - medium bodied, good carbonated
O - Good beer, but more of a "big" pale ale to me! Worth a taste or two

look: 3 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3
12oz bottle poured into pint glass, 7.6% on bottle.
a: nearly clear golden, two finger frothy white head from a fairly aggressive pour.
s: light floral hops, some sweet malts, a honey-like aroma, and not much else.
t: slightly bitter, a definite grassy hops flavor, a lingering bitterness along with a strong honey flavor as well. biscuity malts. much closer to a pale ale than a full-blown IPA, though maybe the English style they aim for encouraged this malt/hop ratio.
o: quite drinkable, enjoyable balance between malts and hops, though this sweetness has become somewhat cloying as I finish the beer.

look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5
A - dark golden amber with a soft, foamy, white head
S - bready, caramel, very very faint citrus
T - bread and caramel with some faint, bitter hops
M - medium bodied, well carbonated
This is definitely a big, malty beer. The hops are there but can't contend with the big malt. A decent flavor profile overall, I just wish it were a tad more hoppy. It's worth a try.

Poured into a pint glass.
3.0 A: Clear light orange color. Two fingers of frothy white head. Retention is decent and just a little bit of lacing is left.
2.0 S: Not a lot of hops for an IPA. In fact, there's barely any. There's a light soapiness with a mild breadiness. Not much from the malts either. Nose just sucks.
1.5 T: Soap and bread. Mild bitterness. Not much hops and not much malts. The only thing that is there is ample amounts are the off flavors. Shitty.
2.5 M: Medium body. Moderate carbonation. Somehow this is a bit chewy.
1.5 D: God awful beer. Do not buy, do not drink, do not collect $200.
