Jim Dundee Honey Brown is the only worthwhile product coming from that brewery IMHO; to each his own.
Genesee occasionally releases a bock beer in a lime green can with a goat on it, but i believe that is for local consumption only.
Cream Ale isn't that bad honestly, but I found it's best consumed out of a pint glass. They also have it on tap at Sticky Lips BBQ in South Rochester. For $14 a 30 pack, you can't expect THAT much... Don't know if it was something local-only, but the last time I was in Rochester the hotel bar had Genesee Smash on draft. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and was saddened when I couldn't find it back home.
Car51, if you haven't tried it, Duquesne is a decent cheap pilsner and is local to your area. I can pick-up a 30 for about $16 here. Also won't leave you reeling the next morning like Cream Ale.
