Easy drinking and light, this crowd-pleasing beer goes down just as well on a hot day at the beach or tailgating a football game.

Draft at brewery. Hazy golden pour with a creamy head. Bready aroma and taste. Creamy and smooth. Simple and well done. This one really knocked my socks off.

From the pint can, it pours a hazy light amber color with a modest white to just off-white head that slowly reduces and leaves some lacing. The nose gets a slight dose of grainy malt with a touch of sweetness. The mouth gets a slight bit of light sweet malt that, as noted by others, is inoffensive and easy to drink.

This one pours a fairly light yellow color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.
This smells like vague sweetness, corn, and floral character.
True to style, this is pretty light. It's inoffensive, but a little bit boring. There's a very light floral hop character, and a somewhat pronounced corn and grain-like sweetness.
The best quality of this is that it's very drinkable, and very clean, with no real off flavors.
This was cool to try, but it doesn't touch the OG - Genny Cream Ale.

Poured a clear, light yellow body with a fizzy head that left a bit of lace patches around glass. Aroma is mild with slightly bitter hops and a touch of grassy sweetness or something of that nature but not much of an aroma. Beer is light-bodied, smooth, easy to drink, finishes with a crisp, mild hop bitterness and there is balance in the beer with bits of sweetness. This is a lawnmower beer as light and simple but I must note that it is enjoyable.
