Smooth like a lager. Crisp like an ale. The Cream Ale was one of the first beer styles created in America, and ours has been the style standard since Genesee first brewed it in 1960. Genesee Cream Ale has won numerous awards throughout the years and remains just as smooth and flavorful as it’s always been. It’s a true American original.

Bottle Well, this certainly matches the style description: Mild and pale, low hop flavor and aroma. Yellow body with a one-finger white head that disappears. The aroma is lightly malty and very, very lightly hoppy — grain and some flowers, kind of. The flavor is lightly to moderately sweet. The finish is lightly bitter, kind of. Light body with a watery texture and fizzy carbonation. Pretty non-descript, though it is smooth and sweet.

12oz can. 3.29 a six-pack. Transparent yellow color with a nice foamy head. Unpleasant macro adjuncty aroma. Relatively mellow, creamy mouthfeel. A great beer for the price, and even worth a sample..but nothing special.

Bottle. Pours a clear golden color with a thick white head that diminishes rather quickly. The aroma is corn and hops. The taste is rather sour with a slight metallic finish. Not much going on with this one

Tastes very much like any number of Macro Lagers. Aroma is moderate grassy hops, corn, and a whiff of band-aid in the background. Head is frothy, white and quickly disappearing. There is a little bit of lacing, but not much. Color is a clear, full yellow. Flavor, well, it is pretty tasteless, but leaves a bit of saltiness on the tongue. Dry mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation. Not that great.

Bottle. Strangely light aroma. A little malt and light floral? Gold color with a white head that left lace tatters. Thin to medium body with creamy carbonation. The flavor is pale malt, possibly honey, and floral hop. Other than appearance it is nothing like a lager. Finish is somewhat dry, but there’s not a large amount of bitter. Glad I tried it, but not longing for a repeat.

Pour is a golden with a large fluffy white head. Aroma is a bit metallic with a sweet corn in there. Flavor is a bit better with a nice lager malt and some honey. Still nothing great as this compares to any old lager you can find anywhere in the world. It was a whopping 92 cents a bottle.

Bottle during a BJCP training session. Clear golden yellow body with a medium creamy white head. Sweet corny aroma with some light cooked corn. No hops. Sweet sugary corn flavor, with some faint hints of malt. Sweet finish from corn. Fairly high carbonation.
