Banded Peak Mount Crushmore - 30 Litre Keg
Mount Crushmore is the quintessential "modern classic" from Calgary’s Banded Peak Brewing. While the brewery is named after the rugged peaks of Kananaskis, this beer is designed for the literal "crushability" that its name implies. It is a Pilsner, but with a contemporary North American twist. It bridges the gap between the rigid traditions of European lagers and the bold, aromatic profiles of craft ales. It has become one of the most recognizable cans in Alberta, synonymous with outdoor adventure and high-volume refreshment.
Beer Description
Mount Crushmore pours a brilliant, crystal-clear pale gold with a bright white head and tight, lively carbonation that keeps the beer looking crisp in the glass.
Aroma: The nose is clean and punchy. It leads with a distinct scent of lemon zest and fresh-cut grass, followed by a subtle, sweet foundation of pilsner malt and honeyed crackers. Unlike a traditional Czech pilsner, the aroma is more vibrant and citrus-forward, thanks to modern hopping techniques.
Palate: On the tongue, it is light-bodied with a sharp, effervescent "snap." It leads with a mild bready sweetness that is quickly overtaken by flavors of citrus peel and herbal spice. The finish is remarkably dry and clean, with a refreshing bitterness that scrubs the palate and prepares you for the next sip.
Profile: It sits at a sessionable 4.4% ABV and a moderate bitterness of 26 IBU, providing a "crisp" rather than "heavy" drinking experience.
Technical Notes: This is a "Cold Fermented" lager that uses traditional Pilsner malt for its light color and clean grain profile. What makes it "Mount Crushmore" is the use of Saphir hops. This German hop variety is famous for its refined citrus and floral characteristics, offering a more modern, "zingy" profile than the earthy spice of traditional Saaz hops. It is lagered (cold-stored) until perfectly clear, ensuring a flawless, professional finish.
