I should note that this version of Gee Whiz bears the additional note "dry-hop on Saaz" -- I'm not sure whether all incarnations of this release were dry-hopped as well.

Poured a murky cola brown with a finger of quick-receding khaki head. Nice aroma with hints of smoke, coffee, and bready caramel.

Moderate carbonation and a creamy, light mouthfeel. Lots of bitter roast up front with a pronounced coffee character. Some toast and hints of cocoa after that and lingering smoke and bitter spice on the dry finish.

Full-flavored for such a light style, but the bitterness is maybe a little too astringent (this actually improved as the beer warmed).
