| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Aug 6, 2009 Bottle pick up at SL... Drank straight from the bottle... Looked almost clear though.. Taste is a light malty lager, with a touch of spice and straw... Little metalic taste in the end.. Kind of boring but a not a bad summer beer. Rib Eye (143), USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Aug 6, 2009 Too dry and an off coppery metallic flavor mean that this is one that I won’t purchase again. haddon90 (1036), Alexandria, Virginia, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 2, 2009 Bottle. Clear golden color with a nice, lacing head. Malt springs from the aroma. Some hops as well. Nice bitter bite to it. Light malt, citrusy hops in the flavor. Dry finish. Not bad for a hoppy Pils. Cletus (5057), Connecticut, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 25, 2009 Pours gold with a white head. Smells of sweet mat, appley, some spicy hints. Tastes sweet with some straw and spice on the finish. bhensonb (4287), Woodland, California, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 14, 2009 Tap at the Dulles location. Pours extremely hazy darkish gold with a creamy white head. Aromas of grass and citrus. Near medium body with foamy carbonation. Flavor is thick pale malt with quite a bit of grassy hop. Citrus licks around the edges. Finishes quite dry and nicely bitter. Seems to be balanced. Pilsner Urquell it’s not(being unfiltered), but it’s a great drink. Especially in an airport. blindeyedbetty (151), Arlington, Virginia, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 8, 2009 12 oz. bottle from Giant (yes, the grocery store). Pours a murky wheat-y orange with large head which melts into a tight, sparse foam of ice caps. Little lacing.
Aroma is a light, sweet citrus with a hint of floral. Front palate is lemony with a hoppy middle and finish of spice... maybe corriander?
Light and palatable. Like most of the Dominion line it’s drinkable but not outstanding. May be a good accompaniment for a BBQ with people you want to break into the sport of micro-brew drinking. ben4321 (1020), Rockville, Maryland, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 22, 2009 Location: 12 oz bottle from Gilly’s, 6/22/09
Aroma: Citrus and earthy notes, light but decent nose
Appearance: Mostly clear gold color, a lot of fluffy white head, and some nice lacing
Flavor: A decent Pils flavor, mild spice hints along with the flavors that were present in the nose
Palate: Light and smooth beer
Overall Impression:
A good summer Pils, not a spectacular beer, but drinkable and refreshing.

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jun 14, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Pours a crystal clear gold with a fluffy white head. Sweet malt and floral notes in an otherwise light nose. Medium carbonation with a medium mouthfeel to it. The palate matches the nose with more sweet malt and almost a corn syrup note. Decent bitterness to help balance out the malt. Short finish. I thought it was a little heavy for the style. Middle of the road.
