Commercial Description:
Dominion Lager is brewed using four types of malted barley: Two-Row Pale Brewer's malt, Munich, Carapils, and Caramel. The bittering hops are Perle and Hallertau from the Yakima Valley in Washington State. The aromatic hops are domestic Tettnang, German Hallertau Hersbrucker, and Czech Saaz. This combination of malt and hops, along with a classic lager yeast from Germany, and the long, low-temperature lagering process results in a mild, smooth, flavorful, complex beer that is a delight to drink.

Bottle. Pours pale, orangey yellow with very little white head. Sweetish malt aroma of bread dough, with a little butter and an odd note of sour lemon. Grassy malt taste with faint lemon and yellow apple, finishing with straw.

Bottle courtesy of sloth. Pours a hazy amber with a white head. Smells grassy with some earthy hints. Tastes lightly citrussy with a splash of pepper on the finish.

Typical American ice cream parlor flavored brewery stuff. Not real beer by European standards. Hoppy smell and flavor, fades quickly, has a corn flavor.

Bottle in VA. Bright golden yellow with a fizzy white head. Sweet grain and vanilla aroma and taste with some nice milky oat notes and a clean finish. Quite good.

Bottle on closeout at Sam’s. Nose was sweet malts, toast, and buttery diacetyl. I could really taste the diacetyl in the flavor which left this one almost undrinkable. Light, crisp mouthfeel. I could see this beer being pretty good fresh, but with these infections, its pretty tough to like.
