Review - Old Dominion Brewing Co.'s Dominion Ale
"Dominion Ale is brewed in an English style with American Two-Row Pale, Caramel, & Black malts. This is our best selling draught beer and overall our largest volume beer. We use Perle, Williamette, & Mt. Hood hops from the Pacific Northwest and English Kent Golding hops. We ferment our ale with a traditional American ale 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 aromatic Kent Golding. Widely available in bottles and draught." -- Old Dominion Brewing
Dominion Ale pours a hazy orange hue with a small, white head that fully diminishes. Active body. Aroma is of light malts with a weak presence. Initially, it is light bitter, and the taste sort of just disappears after that. Mouthfeel is watery and is very carbonated. This is not a good attempt at an English Pale Ale.
