Well it’s just about what you would expect. The aroma is corn and malt with a small amount of hops. The flavor matches the aroma exactly. The palate is thin and overall I recommend you pass on this one unless you are cooking with it. There is not much more to say.

I enjoyed their light version more than this. Actually made the bud light that I was drinking earlier seem strong compared to this.

Ugh. About as full bodied as tap water. No head, and has that college down basement beer on the floor smell. Avoid at all costs.

HogTownHarry (4809) - Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, CANADA - SEP 28, 2005
Can (12oz). Poured bubbly pale gold, big white fizzy head, some scummy lacing left behind. Aroma is metallic-vegetal, some sugar - nasty if you let it warm up. Taste is grassy and brackish, but mostly not much taste at all - no aftertaste either. Thin and flat mouthfeel. I guess you could pound twelve of these and torch a bunch of mailboxes, but I’d rather just avoid it completely.

Cable (286) - SE, Oklahoma, USA - SEP 9, 2005
Sampled from can. Pours a pale, yellow-gold with a large, susdy white head that quickly diminished. Aroma is overwhelmed by DMS. Flavor is balanced and quite malty, considering my expectations. Faint hint of hops and metals also present. Light-bodied, a bit watery and lightly carbonated. If you are reading this review and consider trying Genny... why not try some Stroh’s instead.

Drinkable, but on the watery side. Good for camping or bottle restricted areas.

MrManning (1942) - London, Ontario, CANADA - AUG 12, 2005
Single from the LCBO- Pours a golden body, with a huge frothy white head that doesn’t last at allo. In the nose, lots of grass, corn, and rice. Taste is rice, adjunct, watery. Not good.

The pride of western new york. Go Bills. Go Sabres. Go to Canada and buys some better beer.
