Thanks to the Big Boys (read: multinational commercial lager brewers), I’ve been conditioned to think that "ultra crisp" means "Now With Even Less Flavour!"
Imagine my delight when my first sip of Legends Ultra Crisp Lager sent my mind drifting to various flavour memories: biting into a ripe but firm pear with a satisfying crunch; my first taste of meloncello at the top of Mt Vesuvius; drinking lemony Bintang Radlers in the sapphire waters of a small island near Bali.
Don’t get me wrong – this beer doesn’t have a huge in-your-face fruity flavour profile. Rather, it has the crisp body and tight malt flavours of a pilsner while allowing just enough fruity esters reach your upper palate and send to you… well, wherever lofty notes of pear, melon and lemon send you.
