24 ounce can from some random place. Pours a very pale clear yellow color that is mostly head. The monstrous creamy white head fades quickly. Aroma of hay, grain, corn, something approaching hoppiness. The taste is tart malts, corn, dust. Thin bodied. Blech.

Bottle from someone, probably John. Pours clear yellow. White head. Nose/taste of corn, metal and grain. Light body. Not much going on.

Pour is ultra light yellow and fizzy. It’s old school bad beer sold for 99 cents in a 24oz tall boy can. I don’t think I have ever rated a beer with this many review with an overall score of zero.

Straight from the can on the Metro North, heading into NYC after a great weekend at HC, which included C&C Day, 2011. Clear, fizzy yellow pour with a loose, white head (I’m guessing). Corn and light metal aroma. Light to medium sweet flavor, notes of corn and butter, a little hay. Light bodied with average carbonation. Light sugar, corn and butter finish. Drinkable stuff, though not the best beer I’ve found along the trail.

Does anyboby remember the original gennesee light circa 1976? The can was a pretty blue with an odd label. This is s 16 oz can. Processed pale lager aroma. Pale lager appearance, with barely any visible carbonation. However, one taste and the fizziness is readily apparent on the tongue even tho it fades quickly after each swig. Seems to have more alky in it than the 3.6% listed here, No way is this less than 4%, I get a wandering feeling just after one can. Taste follows in the footsteps of the aroma. Rather industrial in flavor yet does not insult. Leaves an odd pale lager after taste on the finish. Fifty cents for a 16 oz can in eastern ohio.

I’m not sure if this beer is a somewhat new introduction to my area, or if the beer is just that bad that it’s nearly impossible to find. Like the "regular" version of this beer, it’s a pale lager with the texture of carbonated soda, and about the same potency. It’s not a good sign if the most common box you can find this in is a case.

Had this out of a can. It is the standard tasteless beer, but for some reason Genesee beers have character and make me like them more than I ought to. I don’t know why, but I didn’t mind this beer. Appearance score is entirely for the can of course.
