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

bhensonb (9093) - Woodland, California, USA - APR 12, 2008
Bottle. Aroma of pale malt and a hint of grass. Medium gold color with a decent white head that attempted to lace. Rather thin in body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is grainy sweet with just a very little grassy hop. Way better than American macros. Finish is not too dry, but the whole thing is acceptable, if it’s lager time.

Can. Better then the average cold wet alcohol, but was still worth having once for the tick. You have to love MI for good beers and HG can beers.

DocLock (6826) - Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 10, 2004
Pours light yellow...not much flavor or aroma. Genesee always tastes metallic to me, and the afertaste is horrible.

jercraigs (6603) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - NOV 20, 2004
Very pale yellow, decent white head. Macro slighty grassy aroma. Bland, slightly sweet malt. Boring. Light body that is surprisingly smooth. Not painful.

adnielsen (6553) - Fort Collins, Colorado, USA - FEB 19, 2013
Canned @ home picked up at Wilbur’s Foco. Pours a clear, golden yellow appearance with a decently lasting white head. Corn, spritzy carbonated, sugary aroma. Watery, sugary, Lemon, corn flavor. Not very good or smooth.

Cletus (6187) - Connecticut, USA - JAN 10, 2009
Pours straw color with a fizzy white head. Smells of sweet malt, some earthy hints, grassy. Tastes peppery and sweet with an appley finish.

shrubber85 (6047) - Greenville, Indiana, USA - JAN 6, 2012
Bottle. Sour corn/barley malt aroma. Pale yellow color with large head. Lightly sweet corn and barley malt flavor. Light hint of hops in the finish. Guess it was worth $7.99 for a 12 pack.
