Phillips Brewing & Malting Co. in Victoria. Often cited as one of the beers that helped ignite the craft revolution in Western Canada, it is named after a mythical "Blue Buck" said to grant good fortune to those who see it. It is designed as a highly drinkable, "utility" ale that sits comfortably between a Pale Ale and an Amber Ale, making it a reliable favorite for both long-time craft fans and newcomers alike.
Beer Description
This English-style Pale Ale pours a deep amber to bronze color with excellent clarity and a frothy, straw-colored head.
Aroma: It features a delicate and balanced nose with soft notes of toasted caramel and biscuit, accented by subtle Northwest hop signatures of citrus and a faint hint of pine.
Palate: On the tongue, it is robust and malt-forward. It offers a rich backbone of toasted grain and caramel sweetness, which is quickly reined in by a crisp hop bitterness. It has a light-to-medium body and a smooth mouthfeel.
Profile: It has an ABV of 5.0% and a moderate bitterness of approximately 23–30 IBU, resulting in a refreshingly crisp finish that doesn't linger too heavily.
Technical Notes: Brewed using a blend of premium malted barley and classic Northwest hops. The recipe focuses on a "malt-forward" architecture that is underpinned by the clean, bittering qualities of local hops to ensure maximum sessionability.
