Stopped by the brewery the previous day and reception had told me that this beer was the Wee Heavy but I can tell that she was hop-wrong. Mild carbonation with tiny little bubbles. Near headless with a red-copper body. Nose is only mildly hopped. Flavour has good orange-peel with the regular Hi-hopped West Coast lingering finish. Good.

Dried buttery citrus and spruce aromas warm to a light toffee raisin undercurrent. Dry citric-pine bitterness is nicely balanced on a buttery toast and toffee-like tone.
