Genesee Cream Ale

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

Straw yellow dead body with a typical macrobrew look and nose. Adjuncts all abound. This is easy drinking mostly because it is severly watered down. Still...

Straw aroma ringed with vanilla. Yellow color, no head. Harsh carbonation. Taste is very corny. I don’t remember what I paid for it, but it tastes very cheap.

Not too bad for a cheap beer. Maybe I just have fond memories from my youth or just enjoyed the last time I had it (last year).

3.99 6-pack that has the word "ale" on the label. Taste more like a lager, but they already cover that on the label, too. Price is right with the wife, though I would upgrade to the JW Dundee ales for a couple of more dollars. I almost prefer this to other beers that I rated higher.

Tastes better than it smells. Golden color. Average taste, not bad but not great either. I’m more of a dark beer fan. Goes down rather smoothly. I’d be interested to taste it from a draft rather than a bottle.

not my taste. Pours a yellow orange color with a small head. Smells sour and like vinegar. Tastes like rotten cream soda. Not so nice.

Bottle-Not terrible, but not close to good. Middle of the road for a cheap beer. Yellow color, grassy smell and taste.
