Commercial Description:
Known Vintages: 2003 and earlier

The Spring Brew varies year-to-year. The back label should state what style it is, so make sure you rate the correct style!

Dominion Spring Brew is a classic German Maibock. Brewed using two-row pale, Munich and caramel malts and gracefully balanced with Tettnang and Saaz hops.

When I had this I thought it was a hoppy pilsner. It was quite light colored and had a big head that was long lasting and lacy. It started hoppy but finished smooth and was easy to drink.

Light amber color with a good malty start. Has a hoppy pine-like finish with a dryness in the completion probably attributed to the 7% alcohol.

Pours a light gold with a think white head. Mild hop aroma and lightly toasted malt. Thin mouthfeel. Nice mild hop taste with some lemon zest. A good beer for a spring barbeque.
