Pours straw color with a fizzy white head. Smells of sweet malt, some earthy hints, grassy. Tastes peppery and sweet with an appley finish.

Very pale bodied with a steady stream of bubbles but no head to show for it. The aroma is some kind of sugared old vegetal thing. The flavor throws in some bad fruit, a suggestion of malt, and mineral water. Splendid, really.

Pours light yellow...not much flavor or aroma. Genesee always tastes metallic to me, and the afertaste is horrible.

Head is initially small, fizzy, white, mostly diminishing. Body is clear medium yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (grain, cereal, bread), with a light note of DMS. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter, unclean. Light to medium body, watery texture, fizzy carbonation. Sugar water for your daughter.

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.

Can (12oz). Poured bubbly pale gold, big white fizzy head, some scummy lacing left behind. Aroma is metallic-vegetal, some sugar - nasty if you let it warm up. Taste is grassy and brackish, but mostly not much taste at all - no aftertaste either. Thin and flat mouthfeel. I guess you could pound twelve of these and torch a bunch of mailboxes, but I’d rather just avoid it completely.
