I'm cracking into my dad's beer fridge, since he seems to need help cleaning it out. Allow me to back up a bit to explain why he has too much.
My dad used to brew beer. He was one of those guys who would actually send his beer into Homebrew Association contests. He won. A lot. And each time he won, they sent him some beer for free. Beer he doesn't like. So I'm going to review one of the different beers he got.
Beer: Genesee Cream Ale.
Smell: It smells like your typical cheap beer. If you told me this was Bud or Miller lite, I'd believe you until I tasted it.
Taste: It's more flavorful than the smell hints at. It's quite smooth. It seems to me to have everything I want in a beer in balance, but it's just an average beer.
Final thoughts: Basically, if you're looking for a good, smooth beer, this is a pretty good beer. It's very light and flavorful. I'm only giving this a 7/10, though, because it just tastes average. This isn't something that I'd go out of my way to buy.
