Description
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.

copper color with a medium sized yellow-white head. The aroma is sour, tangy and has a touch of honey. The flavor is tangy with a mild hint of honey. A little bitter. A bit more body that your typical macro, but otherwise not a whole lot to it.

Can from Beaver county Beverage, I thought I tried this already, guess not? I heard its the same brew as dundee honey brown but rebranded. Cost was 63 cents per can, yea baby! In the glass, the label appears misleading, its not brown at all, just looks like any other pale lager. Smell is ever so slightly sweet on a plain old fresh lager beer olfactory. Yes, initially a pleasant taste on the palate. Comes across rather easy and friendly. Pretty good level of carbonation. Goes down very easy, civilized, fun. I'm liking this, its much smoother than your typical jenny or jenny lite. For being a honey beer, its sweetness is balanced well, no hint of a cloying aftertaste. Overall good beer tasting experience. Glad I bought the 30 pack. Much better than expected, good job Genny! And in the end....... hey wait; its all gone? I need to crack open another. I like!

12 oz. can from Consumer' Beverages, Niagara Falls, NY. Pours a crystal clear light bronze color with a large off white head and great retention. Light lacing. Light caramel malt aroma. Grainy pale malt and sweet caramel malt flavor mix with a smooth finish. Clean and lightly crisp. No bitterness. Medium body. By far the best Genesee beer I've ever had. Nothing remarkable but very repeatable. Haters are gonna hate...

12 oz. can from Tops in Lewiston, NY. Pours a crystal clear amber color with a tiny off white head and poor retention. No lacing. No aroma at all either. Tastes like carbonated caramel water. Thin, watery body and mouthfeel. Light caramel sweetness and grain. No bitterness. Not much going on here.
