Flavor of a fine ale and the smoothness of a premium lager.

Creamy pilsner feel and taste. Aroma is that of a wheat pilsner. Very, Very creamy kick. Smooth and refreshing that is about it. Good summer heavy.

PJClarke (1407) - Portland, Oregon, USA - JUN 28, 2009
Lively straw coloured ale with a small white crest. Heavily dominant marzipan flavours and sweetness. Very sweet all around. Bubbly and slick.Not hugely impressive, like a shandy made with cream soda.

Leighton (3595) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - JUN 24, 2009
UPDATED: MAR 29, 2010 Ah, good old American beer. Poured a light golden color. A thick white head that dissipated quickly. Smell was sweet, as of corn. Body was smooth and perhaps even creamy. I got a bit of buttery flavor in there along with malt and corn. Very drinkable and quite affordable. I would drink this again. (Good thing, too - I bought a 12-pack.) Update: I just tried a "craft beer" from another American brewery, and the stuff exploded out of the bottle and tasted like garbage. I had wanted it to be my last beer of the evening, but I couldn’t end the night like that. Thank goodness I had a Genny in the fridge. I’m getting some honey in the flavor today. This is a fine beer. Some say our grandfathers had poor palettes; I say, perhaps they simply knew what they liked.

Yellow pour with white head. Malty and metallic like many mass produced American beers. Some sweet corn in the flavor so it at least it is not too watery. Better than expected but had low expectations to begin with.

Overall Impression: Smooth tasty beer that is always really great for the price, I would definitely say this one is underrated on here, I rarely find beers I can get 6 packs of for under $6 that I like better.

ScottyP (425) - Brentwood, Tennessee, USA - JUN 10, 2009
Pours a clear yellow with white head. Light aroma of malts and hay. Light malty taste with slight bitter finish. Very watery. Not a fan.

Butters (2841) - Richmond, Virginia, USA - JUN 10, 2009
Bottle split with Curly, ScottyP, and Barrios at the Impromtu Woody’s Ticker Tasting. Clear pale yellow pour with spiderwebby white thin head. Nose of sweet corn and grain. Flavor is similar with a slight grassy bitterness in the tail. Not the best beer, but Good and cheap though. I’ll take a genny cream whenever.
