Genesee Beer

Brewed by Genesee Brewing Company
Style: Pale Lager
Rochester, New York USA

Serve in Dimpled mug, English pint, Lager glass, Shaker

Very pale bodied with a steady stream of bubbles but no head to show for it. The aroma is some kind of sugared old vegetal thing. The flavor throws in some bad fruit, a suggestion of malt, and mineral water. Splendid, really.

I’m not sure if this beer is a somewhat new introduction to my area, or if the beer is just that bad that it’s nearly impossible to find. Pale lager with texture of carbonated soda, with about the same potency.

Well we’re slummin’ tonight! Aroma is of vinegar and rotten apples with a wonderful touch of cooked vegetables. Flavour is sweet, but in a rotten fruit kinda way. Wow, this is BAD, one gulp and it went down the drain. Ah well, atleast i got a rating out of it.

UPDATED: JUN 13, 2008 12oz can-pours a white head and pale yellow color. Aroma is vinegar/apple. Taste is vinegar/apple, worse than bud. 080116-a newer can? re-rate-pours a foamy dissipating white head and yellow color. Aroma is light/medium malt, secondary spicy hops. Taste is grain, light/medium malt-some sweetness, secondary spicy/floral hops. Crisp. Light side of medium body. OK carbonation. 3.0

From time to time I’ll scan the cooler at the local beer store to see if there is anything I haven’t sampled. Usually I end up with something like this and it’s partner in crime, Genesee Cream Ale. This one didn’t even merit the thought of a decent name. "Beer." Oh, really? Sez who? Looks, smells, and tastes like the worst of macrobrewery offerings. Avoid at all costs.

Rated while drinking: Pours an unattractive piss color with a notebook paper white head. Smells like stale beer in a bottle. Maybe a bottle/can return facility where no one rinses anything. Taste is pretty vile as well. Maybe rain water that ran through a pile of cow feed. Then led into some sort of sewage duct. Watery palate until the harsh feel of diluted garbage water burns your throat. Overall it’s High Falls and Genesee; so it’s local. Otherwise it makes me feel pukey inside.

preferred over other cheap crap beer, this one wasnt too terrible, and im not allergic to it like schaefer , all in all another brick in the wall of cheap college swill i will try.

Genny on tap for 75 cents a glass is golden at 17 years old other than that it’s a beer i drink to go back to my youth.
