12oz bottle pulled from fridge poured into an imperial pint glass. no freshness date.
pours out a deep amber, ruby red color, good clarity, small thin head, no real real lace. no head halfway through the glass.
lots of buttery diactyl in the aroma, buttered popcorn. behind that i can hardly detect some biscuity malt, a little caramel and some harsh yeastiness. maybe a hint of alcohol.
again, buttery diactyl and some wierd off yeastiness. behind that i detect a little citrus, herbal hops with some bitterness and some caramel, biscuit malt. a little honey. off yeast flavors dont make this too enjoyable.
very low carbonation, almost flat by the end of the glass. whats there is fizzy. weak body, almost a little watery. alcohol noticable, a little spicy on the palate.
i wouldnt drink this again...

Pour into a standard pint glass yields a one finger, quickly dissipating head of a seafoamy-pale-yellow hue, atop an attractive red/amber body. I would have thought it a red ale upon first glance. First smell lets you know this is, indeed, a strong ale with a sharp alcohol note preceding the smell of a bakery, a bread bakery... with some sweetness present the entire time. First sip, yep, this is strong, no effort to balance the alcohol taste with the other flavors. I actually really like the flavor, style and off notes aside. Reminds me of biscotti, cashew, rye bread, faint maple syrup flavor, with the alcohol taste almost distracting from all that. Mouthfeel is just off. To quote Monty Python, this beer is like making love in a canoe. It’s fucking close to water. Next to no lacing down the glass. Ultimately, I like this brew if I don’t have any style in mind. A little crude, doesn’t have the “stuff” of a finer, more enjoyable beer, but it’s highly drinkable. People are saying it tastes bad... I don’t get it. Genessee Light... that’s a bad tasting beer. This stuff’s not the best, but I’d throw one in a pick 6 if I were presented the opportunity again.
