I was forced to drink this once in college out of sheer desparation. Pain i wouldn’t wish on anyone.

UPDATED: OCT 8, 2010 This beer is terrible. This is the retired military man’s beer. There is no cream about this crap. It will give a massive hangover and will ignite your ass for days. This is the best beer offered by Genesee, though.(1/1/1/1/1 0.5)------- 9 years after rating this for the first time, I am finally re-rating it. 12 ounce can from some ghetto mart in West Haven, CT. Aroma has a corny, grainy, lighly spicy hopped note. Some sulfur, minerals, and fusels are also present. Transparent yellow-golden body with a surprisingly decent head. Fair retention. This isn’t half bad at all. Starts with plenty of sweet corny maltiness, before it becomes very smooth in the middle. Very little harshness. Faint grassy hops to finish. All in all, this isn’t very offensive at all, and is quite drinkable. This beer serves as prime example as to why it is important to re-rate.

Soapy is right.

Pretty good, but nothing beats an original genesee.

not bad, good change of pace choice, I like Little Kings Cream Ale better

UPDATED: MAY 7, 2003 Rerate 5/7/03: Looks like every other inexpensive yellow beer, but has decent hop presence and medium body backing it up. Well worth buying for a workhorse TV-watching brew, and the 16-oz returnable bottles are downright wonderful for homebrew.

Like drinking soap.

Very nice fro an ale. I would definately buy this one again.

UPDATED: AUG 29, 2005 Yellow, medium pitted head. Musty and bready aroma, very light malts and just a touch of hops. Sweetish, off flavor, corny and funky. Musty finish, definitely under-hopped with a cloying middle. Ugh.
