Located in the heart of the Rockies, Banff Ave designed this beer to challenge the eyes and delight the palate. It is a \"Schwarzbier\" (German for black beer), which is essentially the dark cousin of a traditional Pilsner. It offers the roasted, complex flavors typically associated with a Stout or Porter but maintains the light body, crispness, and clean finish of a classic lager.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBeer Description\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Black Pilsner pours a deep, dark mahogany that appears nearly jet-black in the glass, topped with a thick, tan-colored creamy head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e It features a surprising and sophisticated nose. Despite its dark color, it leads with the clean, floral, and spicy aromatics of noble hops. Underneath, there are gentle notes of toasted bread crust, bittersweet cocoa, and a hint of cold-brew coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e On the tongue, it is medium-light-bodied and remarkably crisp. It leads with a subtle, dark malt sweetness—think dark chocolate and toasted nuts—but avoids any heavy, syrupy mouthfeel. The finish is remarkably dry and \"snappy,\" with a clean bitterness that quickly refreshes the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProfile:\u003c\/strong\u003e It has an ABV of 4.8% and a moderate bitterness of 25-30 IBU, making it a \"dark beer for people who like light beer.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brewed with a base of premium Pilsner malt and a careful addition of de-bittered roasted malts (like Carafa III). This allows the beer to achieve its striking black color and roasted flavor without the harsh, ashy astringency often found in stouts. It is fermented cold with a traditional lager yeast and aged (lagered) for several weeks to ensure a smooth, clean profile.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"300742 - Banff Jasper Brewing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42586570293335,"sku":"817428","price":62.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2479\/4148\/files\/Banff-Ave-Black-Pil-355-ml.jpg?v=1772735515","url":"https:\/\/zyn.ca\/products\/banff-ave-black-pil-355-ml-24-cans","provider":"ZYN THE WINE MARKET LTD.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
