Legend 10,000 650ML

Legend 10,000 650ML is a 7.0% ABV Indian strong pale lager brewed by Som Distilleries & Breweries in Madhya Pradesh, India. Brewed using Unitank Technology — a process Som was among the first in India to adopt — this lager stands apart from standard Indian strong beers with its notably creamy body and smooth drinkability.Quick Facts: ABV: 7.0%  |  Origin: Madhya Pradesh, India  |  Style: Strong Pale Lager  |  Brewery: Som Distilleries & BreweriesProduction & HeritageSom Distilleries & Breweries operates its brewery in Rojrachak, Raisen district, approximately 25 kilometers from Bhopal in the heart of Madhya Pradesh. The brewery employs Unitank Technology, a process where both fermentation and maturation occur within the same tank, promoting consistency and a clean flavor profile. Legend 10,000 is brewed with carefully sourced malts combined with full-flavored hops, yielding a strong lager that sits at the higher end of the ABV spectrum for Indian pale lagers.Tasting NotesAroma: Sweet malt leads the nose, followed by gentle grain and a mild hop presence. There is little in the way of aggressive bitterness on the nose — the emphasis is on clean, lager-forward simplicity.Taste: The first sip delivers a creamy, sweet malt character that coats the palate immediately. At mid-palate, the body remains smooth and full with low carbonation contributing to its velvety texture. A cool sharpness from hops emerges toward the peak, balancing the sweetness without overpowering it.Finish: The finish is short to medium with minimal aftertaste, maintaining that signature creaminess throughout. There is no harsh bitterness or lingering astringency — the beer simply fades clean.How to Drink Legend 10,000Legend 10,000 drinks best chilled between 4–6°C, poured into a pilsner glass or tall tumbler to appreciate its deep yellowish-orange color. Its creamy body and 7% strength make it a versatile beer for pairing with food or drinking on its own. It works well in a Beer Shandy with fresh lemonade to lighten the malt sweetness, in a Michelada where its smooth body complements the lime, hot sauce, and tomato juice, or in a Lager & Lime — a classic British-style serve that sharpens the hop character.Best For
