6A. Cream Ale Genesee Cream Ale, Genesee Cream Ale History. Fermented at higher temperatures, aged longer and brewed with a special top-fermenting yeast, Genesee's brewmasters take the extra step of kraesening which produces natural carbonation, resulting in a true ale with an exceptionally smooth flavor. "Genny Cream" has the distinct honor of winning two consecutive gold medals at the Great American Beer Festival. Genesee Cream Ale was introduced in 1960. Highfalls Brewing Company Since its introduction, Genesee Cream Ale has won ten major medals at the Great American Beer Festival and the World Beer Cup – and we have no intention of resting on our laurels. Exceptionally smooth, our Cream Ale is fermented at high temperatures, aged longer, and brewed with choice top- fermenting yeast. The result is a true original American Classic with the flavor of fine ale and the smoothness of a premium lager. BREW STATS: TYPE: Cream Ale 1st INTRODUCED: 1960 CALORIES: 162 ALCOHOL CONTENT: 5.1% by volume CARBOHYDRATES: 15.0 mg PROTEIN: 1.0 mg FAT: 0.0 mg CHOLESTEROL: 0.0 mg SODIUM: 56 mg Tasting Notes Brilliant, medium yellow; throws a big, creamy white head of good duration. No off odors; more body than standard American lager; surprisingly aggressive nose that explodes out of the glass. Hoppy and earthy notes more pleasant than expected for the style; quite fizzy, lively like a lager. Nice hop/malt balance in the finish, but some corn comes through, especially as it warms. Initial hop character grows slightly, levels off, then vanishes, leaving a dry palate with some residual sweetness. It been years since I had a Genny and this has more character than I recall, and more character than bog-standard lager against which it competes. Little Kings Cream Ale (Hudepohl) , Tasting Notes I had a slightly old bottle of this laying about, but thought it best that I get a fresh sample. I’m glad I did, as the brewery told me that this was recently reformulated to bring it back in line with the original. This new version is much improved. Brilliant medium yellow; creamy white head of moderate duration; no off odors; good, firm body for style; much more aggressive nose than the previous version. Good carbonation, but not over the top. Hops/malt balance is neutral; neither dominates on the palate or on the finish. There’s a white pepper, hot feel to the finish; more mouthfeel, at the upper rear of the palate, than a taste, which is interesting. The taste lingers in a leisurely sort of way, then slowly fades, with a bit of residual sweetness.
