Genesee Cream Ale

Brewed by High Falls Brewing Company
Style: Cream Ale
Rochester, New York USA

Can poured into a glass. Decent enough head retention. Flavor is light in malt with a decent light sweet grain taste. I like this stuff.

Bottle. Pours yellow with a fizzy white head. Aroma is lightly sweet with notes of wheat and other grain. Light body. Flavor is malty, with notes of grain. Drinkable.

this is the beer I grew up on in high school drinking this brought back those days live on class of 85. This nicely priced beer pours a light gold with a small white head. Though it is very corny in taste it is fairly drinkable and better than a lot of other cheap beers

A neary forgotten classic (unless you live in Rochester or Philadelphia) that enjoyed it’s heyday in the late 70’s earlly 80’s. I was surprised when I found this, be it only in 12pk cans. To put it simply, this isn’t a great beer. But I still enjoy a cold "Genny Cream" from time to time. It’s sparkling body is bright gold and appetizing, (setting it apart from other macro-brewed counterparts at the get-go) and is full of crisp lively carbonation. As a matter of fact, this stuff has about as much caronation as a glass of soda. Yet it somehow manages to still come off creamy, (hence the name) smooth, and crisp. The aroma isn’t much better than a Budweiser but has a little bit of an "ale" fruitiness. The flavors are somewhat enjoyable with barley malt freshness and.... well, thats all. Overall, I think the only reason to drink this is to relive the 80’s. I would say save your money, but it’s really cheap anyway, so go ahead and buy it. Couldn’t hurt.

Bottle. Dark golden color - clear. No aroma. Bland. Very little flavor. Clean tasting, but that’s about it.

12oz can. 3.29 a six-pack. Transparent yellow color with a nice foamy head. Unpleasant macro adjuncty aroma. Relatively mellow, creamy mouthfeel. A great beer for the price, and even worth a sample..but nothing special.

Golden in color with a decent creamy head. Aroma is fruity with a slightly malty smell. Taste is light with a nice after taste.

Everything taken in context. With a fine New York-style pie like served at Guiseppei’s in Augusta, you can’t beat a cream ale. I do wish they had it on tap. The finish to this ale is wonderful.
