Genesee Cream Ale

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

I have fond memories of drinking this stuff in college in stubby bottles. I actually still have one of the old stubbies on a shelf. I remember having this on tap 25 years ago and I thought it was exceptionally smooth and quite good. Today’s version is overly carbonated with a straw gold color. A bit of malt in the flavor along with some corn. Still goes down real easy.

Poured golden with about 1/8" white head that dissipated quickly. Appeared similar to almost any other domestic macro-brew. There was nothing distinct in the nose, and the beer did not seem too inviting. Mouthfeel was smooth and creamy, as advertised. Flavor was slightly bitter, with a hint of corn. No other flavors were noted. Aftertaste lingered, and was not at all pleasant.

Highly carbonated pale blond color and typical American beery aroma and taste. One of the more refreshing mass market swills, but leaves a lasting alchohal aftertaste. 30 pack for $10 makes it a hot summer beer.

Light gold color with very little carbonation. A thin white head on top. The aroma is grain with colby cheese and menthol. The taste is smooth caramel and corn. There are also hints of apples and some menthol. For some reason, this makes me think of a watered down malt liquor.

Lots of head and little favor in this beer. That said this beer then any BMC product. At three doors a sixer. Who could go wrong? Best of the cheap beers.

tons of carbanation and it is 5.2 not 4.9 i love this stuff it is on sale for 10.99 for a case adn is smooth and has a pleasent creamy taste

We called this ’Genocide Cream Ale’ during my days at SUNY Albany--but the taste hangs with me 15 years later. As harsh and corn-tinged as any cheapie--but the cream ale moniker came with a taste that wasn’t quite like the usual downmarket beer.

This beer is OK. Not much aroma to mention--looked nice--mouthfeel was creamy, of course. Tasted creamy, of course, with some nice malts. Enjoyable, but wouldn’t buy it again. I like Belhaven’s Best and Sam Adams Cream Stout better.
