Dominion Pale Ale

Brewed by Coastal Brewing Company
Style: American Pale Ale
Annapolis, Maryland USA

Crisp hop aroma. Nice amber color with creamy white head-good lacing. Pretty hoppy flavor with a hint of maltiness and bitterness. Overall a good beer that is easy to drink.

Growler. Really nice fruity, floral hop aroma, a hint of pale malt underneath. Clear amber color, frothy, dense off-white head - gorgeous. Great balance of caramel and bready malt with fruity, floral hops, moderate bitterness. Medium body, easy drinking. One of my favorite beers from one of my favorite breweries.

12 oz bottle pours amber with a short white head. Aroma of iced tea. Flavor of sweet caramel malts and a nice bitter floral finish. I picked up a little of the apple juice flavor as well as the previous poster but overall this is a well balanced pale ale. I enjoyed it..

A bronze body pours from the bottle… a light tan head sits atop. The aroma is a bit skunky, woodsy, wet cypress mulch, old apple juice, but the flavor shows no real indication of spoilage or infection…. It must be the odd arrangement of hops? Toasted honey wheat bread in the flavor, a bit peppery (black), lemon peel oils, cedar plank, pine chips…. Wood … wood and more spicy wood! The finish has a bittering dryness… Mohave Desert kind of dryness! Seems like a typical Pale Ale to me… maybe more floral and spicy…..

Strong iced tea in the nose. Pours a light amber in color, fluffy head. Taste is generous in body, sweet caramel malt, earthy hops, slight bitterness, tangy and delicious. Nice brew.

The Lure:
Well-trained caramel and butterscotch malts lift the resinous, grapefruit hops high above their bulging arms. Screams "Come and get me".

The Festivities:
Resinous, wooden hop bitterness proliferate on the full caramel/butterscotch soil. Oranges fall to the sweetness and marry both allegiances.

Transcendence:
A boiling mind taking a break.

Orange blossom, grapefruit and pine hop nose with some bready, biscuity malts and a caramel/tffee character in the aroma. Dark, clear, copper coloured body topped by a fine-bubbled cover of off-white head. Biscuity, toasty malts with orange, floral, spicy, pine-like hop flavour and a touch of underlying caramel. Fair bitterness is never overwhelming. Medium body is fairly malty with a dry finish and moderate carbonation. Bottled on 2-Dec-04. Trade, Feb. 2005 - Thanks, hopscotch! Enjoyed with MartinT, Olivier_MTL and Rastacouere.

Pours a deep coppery-brown. Crystal clear with a lacy thin light tan head. Nice. Smell is surprisingly hoppy. Light grassy aromas underneath with light caramel aromas in there somewhere. Quite a hoppy flavor for a regular pale ale. It’s quite grassy and crisp. The darker malt would not lead you to believe that it would be this light-bodied. A nice light malt profile followed by an assertive hoppines. Quite refreshing with a bitter hoppy finish. A nice surprise, would not have expected this to be so complex or so tasty.
