Five of Diamonds is the quintessential flagship Pilsner from Lacombe’s Blindman Brewing, a brewery celebrated for its technical precision and deep commitment to Alberta agriculture. This beer is a "Pre-Prohibition Style" Pilsner, a nod to the robust, flavorful lagers brewed in North America before the industry shifted toward lighter, mass-produced styles. It is widely considered a "blue-collar" craft masterpiece—sophisticated enough for a tasting room but approachable enough for a backyard barbecue.
Beer Description
This Pilsner pours a brilliant, crystal-clear deep gold with a thick, frothy white head and a steady stream of fine carbonation.
Aroma: It features a clean and punchy nose led by the bready, honey-like scent of premium Alberta malt. This is perfectly balanced by a distinct floral and spicy hop bouquet, characteristic of traditional German noble hops, with a faint hint of lemon zest.
Palate: On the tongue, it is medium-light-bodied and incredibly crisp. It leads with a rich, grainy malt sweetness, reminiscent of fresh-baked crackers, that is immediately countered by a firm, snappy bitterness. The finish is remarkably dry and clean, leaving a lingering herbal hop note that refreshes the palate.
Profile: It has a highly sessionable ABV of 4.8% and a moderate bitterness of 35 IBU, offering significantly more structure and "bite" than a standard commercial lager.
Technical Notes: This beer is a true showcase of regional ingredients. It is brewed with 100% Alberta-grown and malted barley, highlighting the world-class quality of local grain. It undergoes a long, cold lagering process to achieve its signature clarity and "snappiness." It is hopped with Loral and Saphir hops, which provide a modern, aromatic twist on classic European hop profiles.
