Dominion City LITE Orange

Tap to rate

A light lager with orange zest added, pale and clear in the glass. The zest gives a bright citrus aroma and a faint pithy bitterness at the edges, while Czech Saaz sits underneath with herbal and floral notes. Flaked rice keeps the body thin and the finish dry, and the two-row malt contributes little more than a light cracker sweetness. Crisp and clean, with the orange fading quickly rather than lingering.

Bright orange zest dominates the nose, lending a fresh citrus character with subtle pithy undertones. Beneath lies a gentle Saaz signature—herbal and floral notes that ground the composition without overwhelming. The overall impression is clean and crisp, with minimal malt presence.

◐ Taste

Orange citrus leads on entry, supported by a light cracker-like malt sweetness that fades quickly into the mid-palate. The body remains thin and dry throughout, with a restrained peppery bitterness at the edges where the orange zest turns slightly pithy. Flaked rice maintains a clean, crisp character without adding weight.
