Genesee Beer

Brewed by High Falls Brewing Company
Style: Pale Lager
Rochester, New York USA

Acceptable on a budget. Something to go with nachos or chips. Not much else.

Rated 12/2/05: Genesee out of the keg was the beer of choice among my pals up in Cleveland back in the day. A keg or two would accompany a weekly cook out so I have many fond yet cloudy memories with this beer. Tonight I grabbed a 30 pack for the heck of it. As I am drinking one right now I can honestly say it is a nice change of pace from my usual cheap stand by (which happens to be Strohs). This beer is unusually smooth and has a really good finish compared to most American mainstream beers. My only wish is that the frothy head that is immediately present once poured into a glass would stick around for a bit longer. All in all I can’t complain!

bottle. clear golden pour with rising bubbles to thin white head. wheat, lemon, mild yeast aroma. crisp and mildly creamy. grainy with sourness, lemon, yeast. better than I remember but still not so good. last time i had this i bought it at a liquor store with bullet proof glass protecting the cashier and bars in the windows. take me to another bar make me say my ABC’s let me grab a two liter cup and a bit of genesee

We call it Gene-sewer, for good reason. Urine-yellow, skunky, and bland. Meh, still beats out Keystone. Barely.

Boring light-gold appearance, cereal aroma and standard pale lager palate. A watery, near-flavourless taste profile contains a distant hint of boiled rice lording over the virtual pinch of malt and hops that are contained in this well-below-average brew. Finishes with a sweet, sap-like, woody bitterness. The label says premium, which makes one shudder at the thought of what lack of energy would go into a Genesee budget brew.

A friend of mine brought this back from the NE. Pours rather dark yellow for a pale lager with a medium fizzy white head. The nose is sweet corn and aluminum can. Rather metallic watery flavor, sharp mouthfeel, typical bad pale lager.

Another one to the sink. I don’t know what was on my head when I bought these, maybe the competition. It was sandy, incipit and even gross. BUt nothing to leave on ym good memories about beer tasting.

(Can) Pours yellow with a average looking and lasting head. Slightly malty aroma. Some sweet malt and corn in the taste. Not a very good beer, but certainly not the worst beer I’ve had.
