12oz can. Mild alcohol smell after pouring into a glass. Has a big head that was quick to dissipate. Not a overwhelming smell or anything spectacular, but certainly not bad. Fairly gold in appearance, with white head. Considering this is one of my Dad’s favorite beer (oddly enough) he gets it shipped to Washington State. Must remind him of his childhood where he grew up here in NY. I was expecting a lot from the taste, and it delivered a good flavor for about a dollar a beer. Not bad, but not my favorite of the cheaper beers.

Can from the LCBO. Light golden with a large white head and a lot of carbonation. Grainy aroma, fairly sweet with some slight grassy hops. Thin, crisp body. Flavour is surprisingly not that bad - not GREAT, mind you, but inoffensive and even somewhat refreshing. Hell, there’s even something resembling hops in the finish. Just don’t let it warm up too much, as it gets a bit corny. Still, I’ve had much worse than this.

Tasted of malts and grains with a slight hint of hops and watered down. Every thing here is on a low level especially the taste. Has kind of a bad end taste. Maybe a better pick over alot of other big beer companies out there.

12 oz can. Got a six pack of this after trying Genny Light last night. I thought this was a bit better. Smoother taste actually, and more alcohol - good combo.

Not as bad as I was expecting. Sort of tasteless and unremarkable, though for the price, not one of the worst cheapies, but not a fine brew either. Still better than Bud!

Bottle. Aroma of pale malt and a hint of grass. Medium gold color with a decent white head that attempted to lace. Rather thin in body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is grainy sweet with just a very little grassy hop. Way better than American macros. Finish is not too dry, but the whole thing is acceptable, if it’s lager time.

A cheap everyday beer. Not available in CT, but I found it just over the border in MA. I’ve always liked Genesee products, probably because it’s a regional brew. Easy to drink.
