Corn grits to the max! And not that bad-as far as US macros go, this IS underappreciated. For the value, it is unsurpassed and the flavor isnt too bad considering the class. If youre going to go corn, might as well go gene. Id choose this for $12/30 pk any day over the competition.

Can, draft, 40oz, refillable longneck - been there, emptied that. Sweet corn with the slightest hint of hops. I swear they changed the formula when they went to the new label. I’ll pick the CA first every time. Still, it is an excellent value and underappreciated.

This is not bad, I like it better than its neighbor to the east Utica Club. Why don’t these local breweries spend a little more time on their ingredients? This could be so much more.

Another standard pale lager that doesn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. Fine, nothing wrong with it, nothing spactacular, either.

AlKHall (161) - West Hartford, Connecticut, USA - JUL 17, 2006
Thin, light, and sparse flavor. Its a macro, but its definetly better than Bud or Coors. Not too much to say about this one, there are some hints of malt flavor (corn ??) and maybe something else like citrus. Not bad for the $$$$

Beerdedone (2180) - Croydon, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 30, 2006
Can. Pours yellow with a decent sized white head. Aroma of sweet malts, grain, and corn. Flavor is smooth, grainy, sweet malts, slight corn. Thin bodied, ok summer brew, but not a good beer.

biggcb (464) - Harleysville, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 1, 2006
Can. A very American pale lager. With emphasis on pale. For this, you get what you pay for. Ice cold, it is drinkable.

It’s strange, but while I iniitally thought it was awful, it quickly grew one me. I don’t think I’d want to drink it on a regular basis, which is ironic since it’s so cheap that it’d be easy to do just that. Genny’s Cream Ale is better, though and just as cheap.
