Commercial Description:
Dominion Lager is brewed using four types of malted barley: Two-Row Pale Brewer’s malt, Munich, Carapils, and Caramel. The bittering hops are Perle and Hallertau from the Yakima Valley in Washington State. The aromatic hops are domestic Tettnang, German Hallertau Hersbrucker, and Czech Saaz. This combination of malt and hops, along with a classic lager yeast from Germany, and the long, low-temperature lagering process results in a mild, smooth, flavorful, complex beer that is a delight to drink.

Nothing special here -- a run of the mill lager. Thick frothy head, golden appearance, malty taste with a nice hop finish. Very unoriginal and clearly one for the masses. My father in law, a loyal Bud Drinker, liked it tho, so that is saying something.

I had this one from a bottle at the Harrisonburg beer and wine festival. The guy pouring was very high on it, but I didn’t feel like it was that amazing. It does do very nicely for a lager. It doesn’t overwhelm you with a corn flavour like so many do. However, it doesn’t do much more than that. It has some nice flavour but lacks depth.

Bottle. Good American lager. Nice light appearance. A fairly straightforward beer. Aroma of malt on the nose. I am still pretty new at this game so I think there are a lot of other aspects of this beer I am not quite experienced enough to understand. I drank this after completing the Shenendoah Mountain 100 - 100 mile mountain bike race in Harrisonburg, VA. I will tell you, after riding my bike for 12 hours this beer tasted wonderful. Thanks to Dominion for sponsoring the race and for hooking the riders and volunteers up with beer.

A pretty good, European-style lager. Nothing spectacular, but better than your average American lager if you’re in a pinch.

Couleur jaune maïs dorée abritant quelques grosses bulles assissent sur une faible quantité de mousse. Une touche florale et épicée, presque persillée arrive à partiellement à s’exprimer au travers du puissant duo beurre et butterscotch. Présence de diacetyl trop dominante à mon goût et non approprié au style. Relativement mince en bouche, nette sensation d’un trou dans le milieu, manque de malt de support. Carbonatation adéquatement présente.

This semmed like a well made beerfor it’s style, however I prefer more up-front beers. The overall impression of this beer was of a fresh, slightly hoppy amber lager. Similar to Sam Adams, but a little lighter, a little less bitter and a little less hop aroma. Not my favorite from Dominion, but a fine and well made beer.
