Bottle. Clear gold, thin white head. Stale aroma. Thin slightly sweet malty body with no hop presence and little bitterness. Insipid.

This beer taste much better on tap then in the bottle. Most people drink it on tap and have no idea it’s this brew.

ladnewton (858) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - JUL 28, 2011
On tap at Brinkley’s Manhattan NY on 19 July 2011. Clear gold with very thin film head and no lace. Subtly hoppy aroma, main taste hoppy with cheese and initial savoury note which subsides with subsequent sips. Mildly hoppy in finish with quite a "plain" aftertaste developing. Dry end. Strong carbonation and "evaporating" mouthfeel.

The beer pours a yellow color with a white head. Thea roma is grain with a little bit of lemon mixed in. As the beer gets a little warmer I start to get some bubblegum notes, similar to what you get in some German wheat beers. The flavor doesn’t have any of the bubblegum in it, but it goes have a lot of wheat, grain and a little bit of cream. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Genesee Cream Ale has a thick, white head, and a clear, bubbly, golden appearance, with some lacing left behind. The aroma is almost nonexistent, but the taste is bold, sweet, slightly hoppy, citrusy, and grainy. Mouthfeel is light to moderate, and Genesee Cream Ale finishes crisp, clean, refreshing, and dry (like a lager). Overall, this is tastier and sweeter than a regular American-style lager beer, and I think it’s delicious. RJT

This is my favorite, it has a taste that other beer have. It is light, but at the same time very tasty. It has a great head. Serve ice cold, to me is the they have to offer

LowBrau (33) - Tonawanda, New York, USA - JUL 14, 2011
Golden and bubbly with a decent sized white head that dissipates quickly. It’s medium-bodied and has a smooth richness about it as it glides over the tongue. Sweet, but not overly so. The aroma is a combination of bread, caramel, and alcohol. I think it’s an underrated beer, but my stomach tends to disagree the next day.

This was a smooth beer with little carbonation and taste. The flavor was pretty flat, and all in all, not a beer I would go out of my way to get.
