Can. Clear yellow with medium head. Aroma is faint, grain and some chemical or other. Light body but somehow a little fuller than I would have expected. Some carbonation. Taste is watery corn. Can be easily gulped down but hard to see the point of doing so.

Typical light beer...watery, bland tasting. For the money, go for Genny Cream Ale.

I would buy this again simply because it is cheap (30/$10). If you are going to drink cheap beer in a can, they all pretty much taste the same.

Clear yellow with a thick white head. Slight metallic taste in what flavor there was. Good beer for grass cutting at best.

Couldn’t find regular Genesee at Wegmans, so there was the choice between Genny Ice and Genny Light. Knowing that ice beers usually taste like shit, I chose the light. Aroma is somewhere between rusted metal and rotten veggies. Piss-colored, no head. Compared to other macro lights, the flavor is actually surprisingly -- different? After a few cans, it becomes kind of tasty. Nothing to brag about but at least it tastes like beer, not water. Really carbonated upfront, then slides into some astringent aftertaste. Surprisingly I honestly thought the ABV was higher than 3.6 because of the pretty strong taste. As you can tell, I wrote a lot about this cheap beer cause I’ve already had quite a few.

nothing special just a simple pale beer any high school college student drinks at a party.

This stuff is bad. My friend from Rochester gave me this as a joke, and thats exactly what it is. Oh well, sounds like the price is pretty low.

This is really bad. It tastes terrible. Whatever you do don’t go out of your way for this.
