Cream Ale
ABV: 5.1%
IBU: Unknown
RATING
88
Genesse has been so successful throughout its 129 years of brewing that most fans of this classic American ale have no idea they're even drinking a style that varies significantly from the light American lager. Sure, the two styles taste similar, but the use of ale yeast is a significant change from the use of lager yeast, which makes for a fruitier and minutely more robust brew than its lager cousins. The aroma started out with the slightest hint of hops, and, on the tongue, a simple adjunct flavor accompanied by a mild fruit flavor made for a pleasant, refreshing experience. With a body this light and rounded it's hard to dislike this brew.
