COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Dominion Ale is brewed in an English style with American Two-Row Pale, Caramel, and Black malts. We use Perle, Willamette, and Mount Hood hops from the Pacific Northwest and English Kent Golding Hops. We ferment our ale with a traditional American yeast in the German Kolsch style - warm, fast fermentation followed by a slow maturation. Dominion Ale is malty with an assertive hop character dominated by the Kent Golding. It is crystal clear amber colored with medium body. Widely available in bottles and on draft, often as a house brand name.

Ungstrup (22906) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - DEC 9, 2006
On tap at the brewpub, RBSG 2006. A light amber beer with no head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of caramel, while the flavor is sweet malty with notes of toffee and light notes of aroma hops, before a dry end sets in with a mixture of fruit, caramel, and hop notes, that last for a long time.

Deep blond color. It’s brewed without flaws and without character. The aroma is very light, the flavor has just some malt and some more caramel showing at the end.
