473ml can - no explanation as to who the 'pair of wise guys' are that provide the titular pun.
This beer pours a clear, medium bronzed amber colour, with three zaftig fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and mildly bubbly tan head, which leaves a bit of coral reef pattern lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, a lesser edgy wheatiness, damp banana chips, sort of spicy cloves, some earthy yeastiness, and very faint leafy, musty, and dead floral hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, wet Wheat Thins, underripe banana peel, estery clove spice, fading yeasty notes, and more well-understated leafy, herbal, and floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly tame in its palate-dulling frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with a wee airy creaminess arising as things warm up a tad at this particular juncture. It finishes trending dry, the malt starting to falter in the lingering state.
Overall - this comes across as a so-so version of the style, as there just seems to be a lack of cohesion here. That said, the 15-proof booze quotient is ably integrated, so perhaps soon I will have nothing to complain about.
