Banded Peak Approach Amber 473 ml - 24 Cans

Introduction

Banded Peak Approach Amber is a crisp and approachable amber lager crafted by Banded Peak Brewing in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Founded in 2016 by three childhood friends with a passion for mountain-top adventure, the brewery is situated in the heart of one of the world's premier barley-growing regions. The brewery was acquired by Labatt Breweries of Canada in 2020 but continues to focus on 'style-bending' beers that utilize local Alberta malt as their backbone.

Beer Description

This amber lager presents a deep, clear amber hue topped with a large, fluffy white head. The sensory profile features light aromas of biscuit malt and gentle caramel, complemented by a subtle 'meadow-flower' freshness from noble hops. On the palate, it is medium-light-bodied and livelier than a typical lager, offering flavours of toasted Vienna and Munich malts balanced by soft malt sweetness. The body leads to a clean, dry, and quenching finish with a refreshing bitterness that leaves the palate ready for another sip. The varietal composition includes a blend of four malts—Origin Pilsner, Vienna, Munich, and Chit Malt—and it is hopped with Czech Saaz and Hallertau Tradition.
