Can. Very clear pour, only slightly yellow in color. There isn’t much more than water with an off flavor.

Genesee Beer is a light golden or straw colored lager that is quite carbonated. It has a white head that makes a very brief appearance and then vanishes. The aroma is pretty much just fusel oil. It is thin and watery with a crisp finish. The flavor is fusel oil and cardboard. It’s nasty. There is something slightly sweet and fruity at the end, but the lingering aftertaste is of poison. Have mercy!

I’d rather be dead than to drink Genny Red or something like that. This stuff is just trash. Not much of anything good going on here. There are worse beers out there, but of the top of my head I am having a hard time thinking of more than about 5.

Papillon (283) - Sudbury, Ontario, CANADA - FEB 15, 2009
Clear pale yellow with a frothy one-finger white head that quickly settled to a wispy layer on the beer’s surface. The aroma is cereal-like with an innuendo of yeast and corn husk. The taste is like mild watery liquid corn flakes with a very light aftertaste of corn husk. There is some barely perceptible bitterness in the note that follows. Ghastly as well as ghostly. I’m bored to tears now. A name like that sounds like the Genesis of lame liquid sliced white bread beers.

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.

Multiple tastings. Catching up on some of the beers I drank in the past - this is one of those crappy cheap beers that have alot of corn in them. I try to avoid beers like this today.

Fart in a can. Brewed with toxic waste water form the Genesee river in Rochester, New York.

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.
