In the past, I hve not liked brown ales. But this one reminded me more of an amber...
*Head* - foamy, bubbling, rapid dispersal
*Color* - clouded ruby
*Nose* - Strong hop in the front, fruity. Cold, hard odor underneath.
*1st Impression* - Brief, sweet. Moves along very quickly.
*Middle* - Nutty bitterness, very warming and pleasant.
*After* - earthy, warmth lingers in high notes and rapidly evaporates.
*Conclusion* - Very yummy and drinkable. Reminds me of a middling amber instead of a brown.

Nov 30, 2008 Bottle. Nice tarnished penny color with a one finger head and aromas of sweet malt with little else to offer. Flavor is highly bitter with a caramel malt backbone and a little bit of a metal edge. Has a slightly astringent side to it, which is a little off-putting. This is pretty mediocre.

Nov 28, 2008 He’brew, a little uneasy about the insinuations on the label. Same with the majority of these Hebrew beers. I guess I better find out if the owners or stockholders are Jewish first. Funny, how nothing is subject to respect, these days. Oh well, back to jenny. Genesis is advertised as a smooth and distinctive light brown ale. As far as the color goes, it is clear but has deeper tint than the typical pale yellow beer. Looking somewhat like iced tea. Aroma is beery with no offensive attributes, almost has a charming floral olfactory. Taste is quite bitter initially and comes across with some medicinal qualities. Has a very thin creamy alabaster head. Little lacing. Not sure if a lager devotee would call this palate smooth or not. Does not hide its 6% too well. Decent carbonation. Biting terse flavors build thru session. Not as downy as other American pale ales I sampled. Cannot hold a candle to marzoni’s mark’s mash or ACME CA APA. Moylans Tipperary Pale Ale and Eisenbahn Pale Ale (S.A.P.A.) are also much smoother and acceptable than this.

Nov 18, 2008 Bottle @ Ellicottville Beer Fest. Wouldn t conside this an APA. Little hop flavor. Perhaps an bland amber. Drinkable, some flavor, little bitterness. Nothing bad but rather bland & maybe thats the session beer they wanted to make

Nov 2, 2008 First brew crushed with Honkeybra on a intense weekend. Didn’t get off to a great start. Hop presence in interesting. Label says ’’light brown.’’ Aight? What’s that mean. If it’s that, unimpressive, if it’s a pale ale, unimpressive. Nothing chosen here.

Nov 1, 2008 Pours a cloudy amber with no head at all. The nose is nice and floral with a malted barley sweetness. The flavor has bitter sweetness that coats your palate like a glove. The finish is somewhat thin but leaves a strong bitter aftertaste that lasts for a while. Overall it is a good brew that is bland, but nice and bitter.
