Genesee Cream Ale
First brewed in 1960, the Cream Ale was conceived to combine the smoothness of a lager with the crispness of an ale, and each batch is brewed for a dense, creamy white head. It pours a clear golden yellow. The nose shows sweet corn, hay and cereal grain with a faint floral hop. Cracker-like malt and cooked corn carry the palate with a noticeable sweetness, before a slightly earthy, spicy hop touch leads into a quick, clean finish.
