Dominga Grapefruit Paloma
Tart and citrusy, built on grapefruit and lime: a light golden ale is blended with the brewery's wood-aged golden sour, then given ruby red grapefruit, golden lime and a pinch of salt. This fruited Paloma-style ale takes its cue from the classic Mexican cocktail and reaches 8.0% ABV. Dominga is the name a wood cellar blender gave to a new foeder, a play on the Spanish word for Sunday.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Dominga Grapefruit Paloma
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
