BLUE BUCK ~ PHILLIPS

Sampled from a tin, Blue Buck is an English Pale Ale brewed in Victoria, British Columbia. The beer poured a clear coppery amber colour, with a small off white head, that lasted about a minute. The nose had lots of sweet malt caramel, with a slight earthy hop and a floral scent. The taste was very mild and lighter than I expected. The malts were present t but could have added greater sweetness and depth, and the hop presence was very unobtrusive. The mouth feel was light and creamy and the carbonation was quite pleasant. Overall I think this beer is OK, not offensive and quite meek.
