🌍 Canada · Light Lager · One of 24 Light Lagers in hopIQ

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.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Dominion City LITE Orange

Appearance

Pale straw yellow, brilliantly clear and bright in the glass. Fine carbonation creates a modest white head that settles quickly, leaving only thin Schaumhaftung on the sides. The beer presents a clean, inviting visual profile typical of the style.

pale straw yellowcrystalline clarityfine carbonation

Aroma

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.
