Cream ale vs. Cream ale. Ohio vs. New York. I hate the say this, but they taste exactly alike. Its like I bought two single bottles of a particular brand and they’re near impossible to tell apart. Smooth, full bodied. Not a whole lot more to offer after that. It is drinkable. They taste the same they get the same rating from me.

Ugh, I recently was playiong beer pong and was wondering what foul swill they were using in the cups. "Genny Ale" the host said. "Screw that" I responded and spit this foul imitation of a beer out into the cup I was holding. I did end up having to drink a can since that was the rules of the house but I hated every last drop.

One of the worst beers of all time. Should be banned. I still haven’t figured out what "Cream Ale" connotes, but I doubt this is a good representation. Foul aftertaste. Decent aroma for a macro. Low cost beer for the drinker on a fixed income.

One phrase says it all. Genny screamers the next morning. No cream, not much of anything. If there was a powder mix for beer, it would taste like this.

To me there is nothing creamy about this one. It tastes like any other light pilsner esque beer out in this category. This is a lame producer, bottom line.

12 oz. can. I get a kick out of people who say this tastes "creamy" or "like cream" because this is supposedly a cream ale. It’s kid of like the people who think the opposite of "dry humor" is "wet humor." Anyway... Pour is pale yellow with a surprisingly frothy white head that, nonetheless, disappears altogether. Aroma is extremely faintly sweet, and that’s about it. Flavor is amazingly adjunct-laden-tasting and lightly skunky because I’m pretty sure that for 37 cents a can, that ain’t hops I taste. Palate is as expected: Thin and watery and fizzy. Not impressive, but considering that BMC is about 50%-75% more expensive, this is probably not a bad deal if you’re going to drink crap.
