Tin. Poured pale yellow with fast dissipating head. Not much aroma, but what was wasn’t unpleasant. Flat, bland uninteresting flavour. No finish, none, niks, zero. Tis cheap, but unless the water is undrinkable, not good cheap

12 oz bottle enjoyed with dinner at the Hungry Bear Cafe in Forks, Washington on the way home from Rialto Beach. Pour is clear pale golden with a one inch white head. Aroma of some sweet grain (corn, likely) a bit of malt, not much else. Taste is more of the sweet corn, better body and maltiness than a typical macro, but still very much that type of beer. The corn comes through in the after taste. Overall a decent Pale Lager, not much more or less.

Thanks to riversideAK for this 24 oz white can beauty! I asked for some pale lager from the west coast and he sent it, boy did he send it! In my big 24 oz mug, I poured a big pale yellow ubiquitous american beer. Some carbonation is visible within. Aroma is not offensive, just rather clean, sterile, beery and possibly a little sweet. After drinking the Rainier Ale, I was hoping for something a little more palatable and I was correct. Taste is typical big pale lager at first bordering on offensive, but not quite getting there. I’m not sure the taste is from the the Yakima Valley hops as stated on the front of the can, or not. HAs a little more personality than yer mild cheap lagers but is not quite as offensive as many of the poorly made lagers such as the ones that come from City Brewing. Taste seems to grow on you after afew big slugs. Has an old iron well water flavor continuosly in the background. Reminds me of the water I used to drink out of an old handpump well in the lot next to my house when I was a kid. Seems rather friendly towards the end but once in a while, my palate gets shocked back into cheap beer reality. Finish is short but a mundane non offensive feeling lingers on the back of the throat. Big thanks to Alex, YOU ROCK!

A not so yummy, yet cheap beer. Good for taking to family gatherings to get your relatives sloshed, while you sit back and enjoy a nice Stone IPA.

No aroma whatsoever. Faint grainy taste, not much else......................

Seattle's finest - exceedingly tasteless, with perhaps a touch of grain - and even that’s hard to find. People in Seattle used to be proud of Rainier, now they are embarrassed by it.
