Commercial Description:
DOMINION GOLDEN LAGER is mild, smooth beer brewed in the German Export Style. This means a golden Munich-style beer. When we started making this beer in 1992, when it was called Helles, it was much paler in color. We made the beer darker by adding more roasted malt. Now its color is slightly darker in color.

On draft at the brewery, 9/1/05: Malt-cerealy and bright yellow. Nice full body. Good lager and the favorite among my compatriots.

A bit darker than I would expect a lager to be. Quite good with a hint of maltiness that completely threw me.

Clear amber/golden color. Some caramel and malt in the aroma. Fairly sweet. Nice taste. Clean and refreshing. Overall pretty decent. Had this on tap at the Brew Pub in Ashburn.

Not a bad beer at all, although I’d say it’s pretty much average across the board. Bright golden, almost yellow colored. Thin white head, fruity, malt aroma. Taste is sweeter than a lot of lagers I’ve had, pretty smooth and refreshing.

On tap at Dominion. Deep clear golden with a medium white head, a little darker than their highly superior Dominion Lager. Aroma is of light grass and hay. Flavor has notes of grain, some caramel and a little grassy hoppiness. Moderately sweet, medium hop bitterness at the end. Full, round and creamy with lively carbonation. As stated, not nearly as good as the Dominion Lager but not awful either.

Crystal clear-light amber colour with an almost non-existant head. Aroma of caramel, malt, light sweetness and a subtle metal aroma. Light-bodied; Sweet fruity character up front with a prolonged super light maltiness. Aftertaste clean with nothing showing. Overall, a decent light lager-not too flavourful, but good! I sampled this on Draught at Old Dominion Brewery in Ashburn, Virginia on 30-December-2003.

In the bottle. Rich deep gold color with a rapidly disappearing head. Aroma not quite what I need in comparison to its German cousins- I just don’t get that bready malty smell. The bite of the tongue is not just hops, this is sort of astringent, but not in a bad way. An OK beer.
