Brewed with NY Craft flaked corn, this silky smooth and crisp ale was brewed in the tradition of "Genesee Cream Ale" using N.Y. Hop Guild's Vista Hops providing huge aromas and flavors of stone fruit, melon, and citrus characters. This fun collaboration is truly a unique blend of styles between a dry hopped IPA and a Cream Ale.
This beer will be featured at the NYSBA Conference in Albany as a "Cream Ale Experience tasting."

On tap at The Genesee Brew House in Rochester, NY.

This one pours a slightly hazy golden yellow color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells very melon forward, juicy but dry, with orange, and peach as well.

I think this is my first experience with something with Vista hops in it. They present as very peachy and melony, and really transform the cream ale base into something not all that dissimilar to a pale ale or even an IPA.

This is light bodied, but somewhat creamy, with a great drinkability.

I really enjoy the various Genesee dry hopped cream ales – this isn’t the best one, but it’s near the top.
