Jul 5, 2004 Small white head, good retention and lace, the lace hanging on the glass effortlessly. Classic, clear, deep gold hue. Bready, spicey, grassy hop nose, clean. Medium bodied brew, good mouthfeel. Clean malt flavors, hints of honey, apples and doughyness with a nice hop spiceyness. Finish is dry, crisp. A quality Lager.

Jun 21, 2004 Aroma is primarily hoppy -- leafy, herbal, lightly tart and fruity with dryish cedary notes and a faintly toasty, grainy malt counterpoint. Deep golden color, clear, with a diminishing head. Hops are also the dominant flavor characteristic, lightly spicy, green, crisp and faintly vegetative with a moderate amount of bitterness and a complimentary, light, toasty caramel maltiness emerging late. Smooth, effervescent mouthfeel, body is light-medium. Interesting and well-hopped example of the style.

Jun 9, 2004 Lived in Virginia for 3 1/2 years and never had a Dominion brew. After this one, the count goes to two. I like this better than the Dominion Ale. Both have good hops, this one has a smoother cleaner feel and taste. Maybe first was a bad bottle. This is much better. Look forward to trying the rest of the Dominion brews.

Jun 2, 2004 Pours deep golden, with a nice malt aroma. Tastes malty, with some hops, fruit, and a smooth, crisp finish. This is a great lager.

May 13, 2004 Bottled. Golden colour, no head. Strong aroma of mashed apples. Fruity with clean, gently rounded mouthfeel. Malty with some hop presence but low bitterness. The apple aroma carries on to the finish, destroying an otherwise well made beer. A good beer with a serious flaw.

May 1, 2004 On tap at Brewery: Medium gold clear under a small short lasting head. Faintly metallic light aromatic and woody hops aroma. Smooth butterscotch feel body. Lightly sour medium light aromatic hops bitter and mild malt flavours. Slightly acrid bitter aftertaste. Cool brewery location picks it up an extra point on the overall.

Apr 25, 2004 Clear golden body, effervescent, white head. Aroma is lightly sweet, a nice combination of malt and hops, with just a bit of yeast. Crisp clean flavor, mostly a malt nicely blended with hops, also light citrus. Nice clean aftertaste, lightly biscuity and dry.

Mar 28, 2004 Clear pale golden color with a very thin head and minimal lace. Forced carbonation is very lively. Aroma is clean and grainy with subtle delicately floral hops. Taste is again clean grainy malt with very light hoppyness. There are almost no fruity esters to speak of. A little citric tartness starts creeping in mid palette. Enjoy this for what it is folks, a simple, clean, sessionable lager. Pretty similar in most respects to Samuel Adams Boston Lager, but a bit less malty.
