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.

On tap - Dominion brewpub - May 2008
Advertised as a Dortmunder Export on their beer list. Gold straw color with some white head. No aroma, very little flavor (this was a trend of all of the Dominion beers we tasted). Dortmunder should be more flavorful than a Pils or Helles, and this was not. Other than a mild, indistinguised hop flavor, this was flavored water.

I love everything I’ve had from this brewery, and this is no exception. I had this on tap, pours golden with white head. The taste is mostly of sweet malts, the hops add aroma and tastes of spruce and citrus with only a very slight bitterness. Palate was very crisp and refreshing. This may become my go-to lager.

Poured out of a 12 oz bottle. A slight cloudy off golden color with a decent egg-shell white head that disappears as you drink and limited to no lacing. The smell is limited but hints of German malt and European yeast are noted. The bottles list a variety of different ingredients. The taste is light. Reminds me of a American Lager with better taste. Rather grainy for the flavor with stronger base malts. Nothing to exciting but the hops bring a citrus flavor mixed with a earthy aftertaste. As it warms other flavors are noticeable, such as caramel and some grassiness. The beer is smooth with a slight kick at the end but limited on overall taste.

hazy gold under a small white head. buttery, caramel aroma. flavor of butter, caramel, and bready malt. a bit of sourness though. very nice and flavorful. touch of hops to round out the finish. nice, even though i may have an old bottle.

Golden color, crystal clear with a medium head. Classic beery aroma, like a budweiser. Only in a good way. Like bready or grainy. Well balanced, just a touch of bitterness to compete with the grainy flavor. The 34/70 yeast is on the dirty end of the lager spectum and leaves its own distinctive esters which are definately present in this beer. Its got a full mouthfeel with a minerally finish. I think its pretty good, but at the same time I wouldn’t buy it regularly if it was available in my area.

After reading the last few reviews of this beer i wonder what they were drinking. This beer is horrible! Pours a rich piss yellow with a snow white head. Aroma of corn yeast and piss. Idont even want to discribe the flavor.What a bad beer from a otherwise fine brewery.
