Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a golden yellow color with a one finger white foamy to bubbly sort of white head that dissipated within about thirty seconds. The lacing was somewhat there as it came across in a few and far between sort of messy speckled bubbly way.
The smell had some sweet grainy cereal to corn notes.
The taste was mainly the same thing.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a long sweet corn aftertaste and finish.
Overall, just an okay beer. Honestly, it would probably be a decent budget beer if needed.

12 ounce can thanks to Dennis. Pours a bright copper color with a medium white head. A sweet grainy nose. Not very good. Earthy, slick and dirty palate, grains, smoother sweet barley. Hmmm. Not terrible. Iced to 5.5? I want the 55% version......maybe. OK, I’ll rate it.

Big fucken can @ home, courtesy of BlackIPA. Bro always send me wales, Jesus. Pours a clear, golden orange appearance with a cream colored head. Lemon, corn candy, pure natural ingredient aroma. Pretty sweet, candy, lightly fruity, spritzy flavor. Not horrible. More flavor than Bud Light and about equally enjoyable.

24oz can poured into a shaker. Pours a clear dark gold with a half finger of white head. Aroma of corn and grains. Taste is light sweet. Corn with banana and metal. . Medium bodied with a thin yet creamy texture. Fizzy carbonation and a surprisingly long finish. Overall, not bad. Ive definitely had worse.

Tallboy (Genesee Ice @ 5.5%). Corn/barley malt and hay aroma. Golden yellow with large head. Mildly sweet corn/barley malt and hay flavor. Not horrible - would have torn these up in my younger years and at the bargain price of $1.21.

Sampled from a 24 oz can this beer poured a golden-amber color with an enormous fluffy yellow-white head that lingered and left decent lacing. The aroma was sweet and tangy corn with an undertone of cooked cabbage. The flavor was sweet and tangy corn and artificial sugar. Medium length tangy and corny finish. Light to medium body. Not good.

Can shared by maniac at Slutfest 3, Richmond, VA, 4/21/12. Pours a clear golden color with a thin frothy tan head. Aroma of grain, corn, grass and fusel alcohols. The taste is grass, grain and corn. Astringent. Medium bodied.

Originally rated May 2005. Mild sweet malt aroma with slight alcohol. Quite smooth for a 5.9% ABV ice swill macro. Nothing offensive here. Pale golden amber colour with lively carbonation. Not bad head, with some lace. Long sweet aftertaste with mild sourness. No sign of corn in this one. Last ice beer I had must of been like 10-15 years ago... and had a bad recollection of it. This one is not bad at all.

24 oz. can labeled "Genesee Ice" with 5.5% abv. So many variations on the same beer! This pours foamy, more skunk than the Genesee Beer from Wednesday. Still, a clean yellow body under puffy foam. But the same cheap lager corn smell of any beer I’ve had with "Ice" in its name. Taste has corn edges, some malt, but sweetness over character. Exactly what I’d expect for a 99¢ Ice tallboy.
