Commercial Description:
Dominion Blonde or Light is a clean, crisp, straw colored beer with remarkable flavor for a light beer. Whereas we use about 1,200 pounds of malted barley to make Dominion lager, we use only 950 pounds of Two-Row Pale, Munich and Carapils malts for a batch of Dominion Blonde. Less malt means less sugar for the yeast and consequently less alcohol in the beer. We use only German Hallertau hops. This beer is featured at the Thirsty Dog in Baltimore and Murphy's Pub in Arlington.

Draft at the brewpub, RBSG 2006. A light yellow beer with no head. The aroma is of corn - and quite weird and unpleasant - "light" beer aroma. The flavor is corn with plastic notes of hops, and a dry end - a very typical light beer flavor - and with a thin body.

Draught at Old Dominion Brewhouse, Washington DC
Blond color. Aroma is almost absent. The flavor is light but it presents at least light crispy character. Weak final.

Clear yellow ale. Very weak nose and flavor. Thin and watery with whispers of butterscotch, straw and cream. Very light-bodied with fizzy carbonation. Crisp, clean finish.

Draught at Old Dominion for breakfast - RBSG DC 06 Pale yellow, no head or lacing. Nose of light malt and light fruit. See thin. It must have adjuncts. The flavor is lame, dry and slightly bitter. Finishes thin, watery. Light on calories and old style? wtf?

Quite fresh and clean but, at the end of the day, it’s a light beer and there’s not really too much going on. Rather thin. If I didn’t know it was an ale, I’d have had it down as a pale lager. As Mike says, it made a good palate cleanser. On tap at the Dominion brewery.

Draft at Greenleafe tavern. Very pale gold pour with aroma and flavors of pale malt, slight hopcitrus, and slight honey. Watery and rather bland.

Had this on draft at Dominion on 11/21/04. Yellow body. Nose is straw, grains, faint watery malt. Tastes like a better made BMC product; watery malt and grains. Thin bodied. Finishes the same. A weak effort from Dominion. It did serve one purpose though - we cleansed our palate with it between beers and food.

Crystal clear golden coloured body with a super-thin white head. Aroma of just about nothing, a small metallic twang-but thats it! Super-light-bodied; Very light maltiness and a small citrus nuance. Aftertaste super clean and super light. Overall, a good beer if you want not to taste anything! I sampled this on Draught at Old Dominion Brewery in Ashburn, Virginia on 30-December-2003.
