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.

I rated this beer right down the middle. Nothing special about it; very average. And contrary to it’s commercial description, the beer (esp. in the finish) leaned towards the astringent, rather than the smooth.

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.

12 oz. bottle from a sampler, bottle 07/28/08. Golden pour with almost no head. Bread and corn aroma with some grassy notes. Taste is very bready with some grass and a slightly bitter hop note. Medium body.

Pint @ Harrison’s. Sweet aroma. Corny, biscuity, bready. Orange golden color, good head that faded quick, little to no lace. Bitter sweet flavor Initial grassy bitter flavor gives way to a corn sweetness. Lite body, thin creamy mouth feel. Bitter dry finish, Eh, the sweetness was abit much for me. Not that it was over whelming, but it made it not me not want another. Straight foward kind of american style lager overall.

Amber pour with a fluffy white head. Not much of an aroma. Crisp and clean, slightly hoppy. nothing too exciting
