to great a beer to be retired. It was even worth a roadtrip or two. Smooth with a very nice color. A fine ale for a US macro

I was surprised by this, to be honest. Had a light color, but a moderately hoppy nose and taste, with a slightly bitter aftertaste. Its a couple notches down from say, Sam Adams Boston Ale, but not bad for 80 cents.

very smooth stuff. A bland and somewhat sweet cream ale. cheap but not really worth it

Decent balance of flavors, simple bitterness but not too hoppy. Has that classic Genny carbonation and is probably their best effort. Decent beer though being from Rochester, I am a bit biased.

Good appearance with a solid head and a light amber color. The aroma is nice with some sweet malt and (gasp) some hops! The flavor follow the aroma almost exactly, although the hops seem to be a little bit lost. Creamy, with a nice body. Not overly sweet. Somewhat more exciting than your standard American-style lager.
