Dominion Lager

Brewed by Coastal Brewing Company
Style: Dortmunder/Helles
Annapolis, Maryland USA

Bottle - 061005. Pours a hazy golden color with a small white head on top. Aroma is full of malt, grain, grass, hops, bread, and yeast. Flavor is a mixture of sweet and sour. Bread, yeast, and hops come to the palate. The beer leaves the mouth dry and sour after the swallow. Very interesting. It is very smooth, clean and drinkable.

Bottled on 051006. The beer pours to a glowing orange body with a thin white head and moderate visible carbonation. The aroma is quite hoppy with interesting Saaz and Hallertau. Some bread dough also come out. A little grassy. The flavor is grassy and interesting with lots of corn silage and some sourdough bread. The palate is well carbonated but the texture is smooth and easy to drink. This is a very drinkable brew.

Bottle. Light bread aroma. Clear golden pour with a violent and short-lived little white head. As seems to be a common problem with this brewer, overcarbonated. Very malty and smooth with classic bready malts. Medium-lightish body with a velvety mf. A little too sharp for the style, but otherwise a pretty decent take.

pours out of the bottle a golden body with a good-sized white head. aroma is extremely pleasant. a nice mix of light malts and hops. kind of musky too. tastes again of well balanced malts and hops. a big bready and yeasty. kind of dry mouthfeel throughout. finishes slightly sourt. interesting. drinkable. light and pleasing.

From a twist off 12 oz. bottle with a bottling date on the upper right side of label, 05.10.06, a blurb on the back label. Poured a clear reddish golden with a foamy white head that settled into a thin sudsy lacing. Aromas of musty grain and floral, spicy hops. Good carbonation and a crisp, dryish, smooth light-medium bodied mouthfeel. Pleasant Dortmunder taste, earthy graininess with a light malt sweetness, a spicy herbal hoppiness, brisk in the palate, a subtle citric fruitiness and a dry grainy finish. A nice Dortmunder-style lager, if this was available in Illinois, I could see myself drinking this often, especially in restaurants.

Very hazy orange brew, small foamy white head. Super sweet malty pear aroma. A bit grassy. Thick, malty bitter flavor. Kind of taste like sour grapes and strong malt and grains. Kind of odd spicy.

Mid-golden with a light haze and a 2-finger white head that fades fast to a scummy film. Diacetyl problems evident and upsetting. Mild notes of vinegar in aroma and flavor. Flavor finds a sour yeastiness alongside sweet, buttery kettle corn. Despite my high numbers, this was still a drain pour.

Draught at Old Dominion for breakfast - RBSG DC 06 PAle yellow, no head or lacing. Nose of light malt sweetness. The flavor is sharp and husky. Lots of adjunct and skunky lotiony pale malt. Finish is cold and boring.
