Genesee Cream Ale

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

Purchased at JR’s beer warehouse in rochester. On sale, after rebate cost was 24 cents 12 oz can. Decent beer for the price, I wish it cost this much all the time and I’d buy it. It is your typical pale yellow american brew with a little more smoothness than usual. Even tho it has a rather odd initial flavor it is short and the finish has no bitter aftertaste. Poured clear in my three stooges glass. In the old days, I think this stuff was brewed in Buffalo and tasted a little better as I recall.

The 12 ounce bottle poured a crystal clear, golden colored beverage with a small white fizzy head that was mostly diminishing and left some lacing on the glass. There were faint notes of malt mingled with sweet corn that and a hint of hops. The body was light with lively carbonation and a slightly smooth texture. The flavor started off slightly on the bitter side with faint notes of corn and bread. The bitterness built gradually through the medium finish. I would describe this beer as light and smooth.

12 oz bottle. Pours light gold with moderate fairly rapidly disappearing head leaving a ring and some slight lacing. Not much aroma to speak of. Flavor has some sweet malt and a vague fruitiness I attribute to the fact that this is top-fermented. Better body than I expected. Vague hop presence in aftertaste along with some graininess but pretty clean finish. Better than I expected and a decent choice to pick up a 6er and drink on a hot afternoon.

Can. Probably the best Genny beer. Pours yellow\gold with a dcent white head. Aroma of sweet malts, grain, not offensive. Flavor is smooth, sweet, grain, malty, good body, i enjoyed this brew, but it was nothing to brag about.

Lively golden pour with a small white head that quickly disappears. No lacing to speak of. Been a while since I had this, not distributed in Delaware anymore. It wasn’t anything special, that’s for sure. Skunky aroma that isn’t incredibly off-putting. Taste is really just of a slightly sour malt...nothing else. This should be classified as a lager, I think. If you want a decent, dirt cheap beer....this could be the ticket.

This is nicknamed the "Genny Screamer" for the laxative effects it has on one’s body. This is almost as powerful as the #4 platter from Taco Bell in that regard. There is nothing notable about this beer. It’s cheap swill for cheap people.

Drank straight from the can as all Genesee products in my home town are. Smell was pretty skunky to sweet. Taste was a enrichened malt when it comes to US industry beers.

Can. Really not too much to say about this beer - rather bland, nothing bad, but nothing good. No redeeming qualities (other than price), but nothing offensive either. A value purchase.
