Dominion Ale is brewed in an English style with American Two-Row Pale, Caramel, and Black malts. We use Perle, Willamette, and Mount Hood hops from the Pacific Northwest and English Kent Golding Hops. We ferment our ale with a traditional American yeast in the German Kolsch style - warm, fast fermentation followed by a slow maturation. Dominion Ale is malty with an assertive hop character dominated by the Kent Golding. It is crystal clear amber colored with medium body. Widely available in bottles and on draft, often as a house brand name.

12 oz. bottle from a sampler. Bottled 071808. Reddish brown pour with a minimal head that disappears almost immediately. Nutty aroma with hints of caramel and hops. Taste is nutty, slightly bitter with some fruity notes in the finish.

Light caramel and pineapple bouquet. Muddy ochre pour with no head. Pleasantly woody, with an ashy walnut finish. Decidedly not hoppy.

Light amber color, not much head. Strong butterscotch - diacetylic aroma. Hard metallic start, then crisp malty and butterscotchy flavors. Malty and hoppy aftertaste.

On tap at the brewpub, RBSG 2006. A light amber beer with no head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of caramel, while the flavor is sweet malty with notes of toffee and light notes of aroma hops, before a dry end sets in with a mixture of fruit, caramel, and hop notes, that last for a long time.

On draught at the Foggy Bottom Brewpub in Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (at 9 AM). Pours clear reddish-amber with a compact beige head with good staying power. Thin and quick lacing. The aroma consists of roasted malt and nuts. Medium-bodied with a steady sweetness throughout. Malt, caramel and mild hops flavors are all present. The finish is roasty and sweet with a nutty finish. Not something I would go out of my way for but it was a sight for sore eyes after a bad night/morning of delayed flights and itinerary changes.

Bottle. Dark amber color. Not an unpleasant aroma, but nothing special. Little head when poured. Slightly watery finish. Nothing special, but leaps and bounds better than the average beer.

Amber, creamy lacing head. Light grassy hops, ok malt balance. But pretty unexiting.
