Geneva Lake Cedar Point Amber Ale
12 ounce can from Total Wine Greenfield, 5/24/19. Hazy dark amber, three finger fizzy tan head, good retention. Aroma of citrus, caramel, band-aids. Uh oh. Taste is caramel, tea, cider apples. Thin. This is off.

Geneva Lake Black Point Oatmeal Stout
Keg at the brewery, 5/24/19. Dark brown, thin creamy tan head, fair retention. Aroma of oats, chocolate, tart cherry. Taste is chocolate, roast, and strongly tart cherries. Medium bodied, lingering tartness. I'm not sure if that strong tart cherry note is supposed to be there, but if it's not, it actually comes across well. Fortuitous. Rating 15.5k!!!!

Geneva Lake Imperial Cherry Stout
Aroma is all chocolaty malts with a hint of cherries, and taste is initially sweet then waves of cherry tartness creating a super-dry finish. Very delightful. From a bomber allowed to rest three years after purchase.

Pours golden amber, Aromas of earthy hops, bready malts, and biscuit. An initial medium bitterness up front that holds up through. An earthy hoppy flavor to finish, a bit astringent but pretty solid overall

Geneva Lake Black Point Oatmeal Stout
It’s good, though nothing special. Aroma and flavor are traditional and typical of the style: roast, toast malts, bittersweet cocoa. This is well balanced along with the texture which is perhaps just a touch thin and carbonation forced. Nice finish.

Geneva Lake Weekender Wheat
Bottle: Nearly clear, light amber with a white head. Very mild wheat, banana aroma. It has a light banan bread flavour...nice taste, but it doesn’t get big enough to really shine.... Good....but weak.

Geneva Lake Imperial Cherry Stout
Shared bomber poured to a 2006 GToM fest glass, displaying a fairly clear, dark brown color, with some ruby highlighting, brownish tan head foam, and dots & dashes of lacing. The nose was caramel-like sweetness, some mild roast & toast, a bit of cocoa, and a touch of dried fruit, but couldn’t distinguish any cherry yet. The taste then exposed cherry tartness in a medium body, with low carbonation, some sticky & syrupy texture, modest earthy bitterness, and somewhat hidden alcohol. Not very Stout-like or even Imperial to me.

Aroma smells like banana bread. Appearance is dark yellow in color. Taste like a wet piece of bread.( very chewy beer) palate light body, with average carbonation, and a long finish of banana bread. Not a good wheat beer.

Bomber. Poured deep brown with a short, creamy toasted tan head. The aroma picked up lots of cherry juice and toasted cocoa.. warm and a bit tart. The flavor found similar.. warm, roasted cocoa, molasses, and a touch of gingerbread at the core with cherry juice laced throughout.. finished a bit more tart, with cherries and belly warmth. Medium-bodied with an OK feel and flow on the palate.. low-ish carbonation.. OK stuff.

On tap at GTMW 2015, thought it would be different on tap, but nope, huge sweet malt bomb with hardly no hops to it at all, more of a strong ale than anything, maybe a touch of hops, nah, that must of been the beer that was in this glass last time, drain pour.

Black pour at home from 22oz bottle. Super cherry flavor. Chocolate flavor but the cherry over dominates everything and is almost too much. So sweet. Not a fan
