Jun 6, 2005 a slight bit better than Old Dominions lager which i tasted at the same time at the harrisonburg beer and wine festival with some hoppiness but nothing special overall.

May 28, 2005 I had this one on tap at the Harrisonburg beer and wine festival. Good beer, especially when held against their lager offering. It had some nice depth and some great hops. I felt like this one was a great beer to have with dinner or with an afternoon snack. Very refreshing.

May 25, 2005 Dark amber appearance. Malty aroma. Malty flavor. Definitly loiters on the back of my throat. Not very bitter and very drinkable. I drank this beer and the dominion lager after completing the Shenendoah Mountain 100 - 100 Mile Mountain Bike Race in Harrisonburg, VA and it definitly hit the spot after cycling for 12 hours (honest). Thanks dominion for sponsoring the race and hookin us up with the beers. I am drinking this beer today out of a bottle, though.

May 14, 2005 Couleur ambrée, peu de mousse blanche. Aucun dégagement gazeux apparent lors du service. Les arômes, presque dominé par le puissant diacetyl, rappellent le beurre huileux et le butterscotch. En bouche, les parfums floraux arrivent bien mieux à s’exprimer qu’en aromes et reprennent le dessus sur les caractéristiques apportées par le diacetyl. Quelques notes de caramel et de toffee sont aussi présentes. Corps assez mince, texture plutôt aqueuse.

May 11, 2005 The Lure:
A veil of butter shades the earthy hops and orange-y eyes. A slightly metallic look is able to stare through.
The Festivities:
Diacetyl is thankfully submerged under the earthy hops and caramel, as well as beneath my tolerance threshold. Over here, they would call it a "Rousse", and it would be marketed by average micros to the nearly adventurous masses.
Transcendence:
Yet another university party.

May 10, 2005 Strong, buttery, oily, diacetyl with some notes of cheese in the aroma. Deep golden-amber with a light cover of white head. Buttery flavour meshes with floral, perfumey, earthy hops and some caramel and toffee notes. Medium body with fair carbonation. Bottled on 2-Dec-04. Trade - Feb. 2005 - Thanks, hopscotch! Sampled with MartinT, Olivier_MTL and Rastacouere.

May 9, 2005 Very light amber, clear. Small diminishing head. Surprisingly buttery aroma, floral and pear reminiscent, but above all oily and vegetal (almost corny). The understated fruits and very sparing hops don’t contribute much bitterness and the overall light-medium body with higher than average carbonation both betray the lack of richness… Sub-par for Dominion. Thanks Hopscotch!

May 3, 2005 Light orange amber color. Medium sized slightly foamy head. Hints of caramel and sulfer in the mostly malty aroma. Acrid floral undertones from the aroma carry through to the nose. Mild malt flavors with a lagery crispness accentuated by spicy kent golding notes. Dry finish with a return of sulfer hints.
