Founded in 1989 Old Dominion was one of the first breweries in the Washington DC Metropolitan area rolling out an award winning lineup of great beers from the start. In 1995 Fortune Magazine named Old Dominion "One of the 50 best breweries in the US". Unfortunately for me it seems this beer is only available on the east coast so if you happen to live out that way check out where you can buy it and enjoy some of their other varieties for me.
Dominion ALE
For a beer this dark it is surprisingly light and very crisp. Medium bodied lots of hops with hints of nuts, oats and toffee yet it is not as bitter as I expected. Creamy texture with a clean finish that has an earthiness to it that defines this brew. To me this beer is just ok, not bad, but not great either as nothing really stands out as far as complexity or flavor are concerned. Don't let that fool you, if you're a fan of English style pale ales give this one a try. As always, drink what you like and try something new.
