Genesee is actually a brand of the upstate New York High Falls brewing company, and is a creamy lager-like beer that is 'krauesened' - a brewing process in which an additional touch of fermenting beer is added to the storage tank. It pours a medium gold colour with plenty of carbonation, and has a fluffy white head that dissipates fairly quickly. The nose offers malty aromas with a touch of toffee and brown bread, and some fruitiness. On the palate this does have a certain creaminess to the texture, and although the flavours are fairly innocuous and straightforward, there's a nip of hoppy bitterness as well as the cushioning malt to make for a pleasing drink. 5.1% ABV, 35.5cl
