Had to give it 5 stars because of family history. This was the beer my dad would drink in his youth in olean NY. He told me stories about how he and his friends would get drunk off the stuff and them piss in the lake whos water was used in brewing Genesee. I acually just tried it last summer and it was decent enough.

12oz can purchased at Shaw’s in Derry. Pours a crystal-clear light hay-yellow body with a good inch of rim-hugging off-white head that slowly dissipates. Cereal grain dominates the aroma - malt and corn most notably, with just a hint of citrussy grassy hops. Tastes sweet, with cereal grains and cooked corn initially, and a bit more hops than I’m used to getting from the style, expressing themselves mostly as a grassy citrussy presence toward the finish. Finishes clean, as it should for the style. Nothing to complex or profound, but a simple easy drinking macro-style lager that’s better than most, and a good quaffable brew for hot summer days like today.
