Valemount 19/7 2018. 33 cl can from BC Liquor Store. Aggressive looking Beaver ready to slap me with its evil looking tail on the can. Part of a Orientation Pack from Three Ranges - the local brewery in Valemount. With a fine map leading me to Craft Beer in British Colombia.
Pours slightly hazy golden yellow with a gigantic white head. Settles as a 5 cm thick blanket of foam. Massive lacing.
Aroma is dampened by the foam. But sweet exotic fruit like mango and pineapple intermingling with notable citric sour odor of grapefruit with a solid dose of acidicy.
Soft carbonation and slightly thick, velvet, slightly flat texture.
Flavor is medium sweet followed by somewhat stronger bitterness. Aftertaste is citric bitter. Finish is semi-dry. Lingering.
Very solid take on IPA from Three Ranges.

355ml can, and another ode to a venerable Canadian critter - that beaver on the label sure looks as menacing as one might think such a thing could be, eh?
This beer pours a clear, medium golden amber colour, with two fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and mildly bubbly ecru head, which leaves a few instances of low-lying coral reef arch lace around the glass as it quickly subsides.
It smells of musty pine needles, muddled domestic citrus fruit, grainy and almost crackery cereal malts, a not particularly subtle estery yeastiness, and further weedy, leafy, and somewhat perfumed floral green hoppiness. The taste is testy, kind of sauced-up orange, lemon, and white grapefruit citrus punch, grainy and bready pale malt, a touch of gritty caramel, still unwelcome dead yeast, and a growing sharp floral hoppy edginess (aided and abetted by the slightly elevated booze).
The bubbles are generally tame in their barely-there frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and smooth enough, I suppose, that floral character too busy puffing its chest to notice what's going on here. It finishes off-dry, the malt persisting in giving the lingering citrusy and floral bitterness a welcome foil.
Well, I can see why the little dude on the label is so pissed - the IPA that he's associated with needs a bit more work before it can stand among the better offerings of the West Coast style. Anyways, I should have known - beavers slap their tails as a warning of impending danger, after all!
