About
The Genesee Brewing Company, based in Rochester, New York, is one of the largest and oldest continually operating breweries in the United States. It was founded by Mathius Kondolf, one of Rochester’s early entrepreneurs, after purchasing the Reisky & Spies Brewery (since 1857), changing its name to The Genesee Brewery.

The Genesee Brewing Company is since 2012 part of FIFCO USA, the largest independently owned beer company in the United States. With a focus on product quality, facility upgrades (including the relighting of the iconic Genesee Beer & Ale sign), conservation initiatives and employee safety, FIFCO USA has invested in the Genesee family of beers, its employees and the community.

In 2012 The Genessee Brew House was created to capture and share with you the long history of The Genesee Brewery - one of the largest and oldest continually operating breweries in America.

Pilot Batch Imperial Cream Ale from Genesee Brewing Company
8 years ago
2.5/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 4 Flavor 2 Texture 2 Overall 1
Can, same color can as the original green jenny cream ale can. Perhaps a little fruity up front then it goes volatile, alky all over the place. Reminds me a bit of those higher alky cheap american lager ice beers. Whew. Rude, difficult. A little over the top in cheap ale effects. Not pleasant, quite an impact on my senses. Cannot appreciate, much like a cheap malt likker. That slight fruity sensation never comes back once yer past the initial onslaught its all alky. Even seems to be much more than 7%. This is far from a cream ale, I'd say its an american strong ale. JMHO.

24 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 11/11/2017. Pours fairly crystal clear medium golden yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with awesome retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of cracker, corn, white bread dough, and lightly toasted biscuit; with light notes of lemon, pear, apple, pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with pale malt/corn and light earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; with solid strength. Taste of cracker, corn, white bread dough, and lightly toasted biscuit; with light notes of lemon, pear, apple, pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Light herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of cracker, corn, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, light pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness of malt/corn and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance; and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Very clean on lager flavors, not Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium-high carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and light sticky mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.1%. Overall this is a delicious cream ale. All around nice robustness of malt/corn and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink. Very flavorful and never thin/watery for the ABV. Very clean pale malt/corn flavors, restrained yeast, and mild earthy hop balance. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.
