beer_name: Genesee Cream Ale
text: Friends of mine from the upper NY area said this was one of their favorite beers...I need to stop asking them for beer advice. This was slightly better than most of the BMC products, but not by much. Poured to a golden yellow with some carbonation, a little white head that lingered a shor time, and a touch of lacing. Little aroma to speak of, though I did catch some grain, and there was nothing in particular that was noticeable in the flavor. Finish was about what would be expected; short and flat. Not sure where the "cream ale" reference came from, but it was just another lager to me.
