Description
In what has become known as the Craft Beer Revolution, the year 1989 stands out as a landmark moment when the Old Dominion Brewing Co. established a brewpub operation in Ashburn, Virginia. The small brewpub quickly became a production brewery that was named one of the Top 50 breweries in the U.S. The brewery cultivated a community, in which many discovered the joy and wonder of craft beer, inspiring many of the company’s brewers to start successful breweries of their own. We soon found ourselves working around the clock to provide our potent potables and gourmet soda up and down the East Coast.

In 2007, Fordham Brewing and Dominion Brewing joined forces. Dominion operations ceased in Virginia in 2009 and the Dominion label was brewed under the Fordham & Dominion Brewing Company name in Delaware.

Somewhat red in colour, but basically golden. I immediately flagged down the waiter and asked if this was the correct beer, but it was. The smell was nothing great, just a typical ale. No large presence of hops nor malt in this beer, just an average amount of a decent tasting beer. Aftertaste was acceptable as well. Could use a little work, but is better than any Macrobrew at anytime of day. Tasted at RT's in Court House (Arlington), Virginia.

Smells like some extra spices, and nice golden brown colour! Nice sweet-spicey taste...somewhat mild! Sampled on Tap in the B Concourse (at the Dominion Brewing Company) in Dulles (IAD) Airport in Washington.

Looks like a mixed black & tan...no surprise there...smells like a straight ale. A very bland beer with no great aftertaste!

Maibock? Light bronze, lightly fruity, spritzy. Really not much to this at all. I wouldn't say that it is strong enough to be a maibock, nor malty enough.
