Pours amber with a thin white head. Smells vegetal with some sweet malty hints. Tastes of caramel, cereal, some vegetal hints. Meaty finish.

Can from Jungle Jim’s. Poured clear brown color with a large fizzy off-white head that mostly lasted with fair lacing. Medium toasted malt aroma. Medium body with a smooth sticky texture. Medium balanced sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of average duration.

Sampled from 12-oz can and shared by Guerde. Pours a clear copper amber brew with a thin off-white head that quickly disappears clean. Aroma of caramel malt, some light corn, floral hops and a touch of toffee. Taste is medium bodied, some carbonation with flavors of caramel malt, floral hops and a touch of pear. Finish is semi-sweet and then a lingering corn sweetness.

Can (12oz). Do NOT look at this can hung over. Just don’t. Pours a very attractive bright refractive burnt copper with a decent sized fizzy off-white foamy head - even some nice Queen Anne’s lacing left behind - 4/5 for a Genny - go figure! There some roast in the aroma, grain and even some floral bitterness, but it’s ... somehow not really "there" - a bit weedy, if you follow me. The taste is light and simple - sweet caramel papery malt, some vague bitterness I can’t really attribute to anything specific, and weird aftertaste that won’t go away, like pesticide residue or something. Thin, flat and slick/sticky mouthfeel, a little alcohol burn in the tail, moderately harsh aftertaste. Kind of a roasty malt likkah, perhaps.

Ugh... thanks Guerde. Copper color with no head. Dry floral aroma. Lightly malty flavor and a bit of caramel towards the finish.

Light lager aroma. Light brown color. Some malt, drinkable enough as a session beer, not very bocky.

<b>Unknown Date</b>: Genesee Bock Beer pours a clear amber color with a bubbly beige head that dissipates quickly. There really isn’t much of an aroma. The flavor is grainy with a sweet corn character and come really soft hops. The body of this beer is medium-light and it has a bit too much carbonation. Overall this is very much like the regular Genesee only darker in color. Definitely nothing to write home about and one can per lifetime is probably enough for me!

<i>12 fl. oz. can from Tmoney99. Thanks Tom! Rating #30 for this beer...</i>
