Genesee Cream Ale

Like the logo says: since 1878, Genesee is one of those local breweries that survived, albeit now as part of a larger entity, Labatt's USA. Deceptive in its apparent plainness, yet with some great flavor and hidden complexity, this Rochester New York favorite would make a great session beer, lawnmower beer, barbecue beer...just a damn good beer. Pouring a bright golden hue  with a medium-depth head, Cream Ale is in fact creamy, with some similarities to good vanilla cream soda. Not too hoppy, not too malty, something an old-time beer drinker would like. Great way to start of Cu Chullain Day.
