Sampled during RBSG. From notes. Corn, grains and oddly grainy. Surprisingly good.

16 Oz can poured incorrectly. Figured what the hell. Barely local, but still. need the tick. Horrible aroma to this. Ouch. Suprised I can drink this stuff with this blast of pure nasty. Flavor is much better, though that doesn’t necessarily make it good. Flavor is mostly absent, which I don’t know if I should be thankful for. Crisp finish. People drink this for pleasure? This was strictly business. To end on a good note, there absolutely has to be something worse out there. Maybe I’m being a little harsh. Tastes like a less than appealing pilsner. Alllllright.

Bottle @ the pussy palace. Pours a Gazza gold ale appearance with a thin off white head. Spritzy corn candy, apple, lemon aroma. Nice body. A touch papery but really an otherwise good corn flavor. Nice to pete.

16 oz can a gift from Odeed. Sure doesn’t look like the old Rainier "Green Death" from the early 70’s from the old Blitz-Weinhard guys that I often drank in college.! Nose a combo of malt and ricy pastiness, light alcohol and a hint of bubblegum.Clear gold with a big, lightly lacing, pale yellow head. Flavor is light caramel with a hint of alcohol like it has a touch of a cheap sake mixed in. Finish a touch of alcohol warmth. Not nearly as offensive to drink as most macro stuff even though this is a Miller brew.

Thanks goes out to riversideAK for this really cool 40, a big green bottle of ale. Code 04078 E60713. Looks like it should be hidden in a wrinkled brown paper bag, heheheh. Not the same rude aroma as the 40s I get around here, its olfactory is much cleaner and even almost pleasant, smell is sweeter than cream corn. Lots of continuous rolling carbonation within the glass once poured into my Bios sniffer. Taste is, woooooo, strong unrefined alky impact. Rather uncouth, somewhat like a high gravity beer or malt liquor from Melanie’s City Brewing. Coarse strong American lager flavors are startling findings. It says ale, but I have a hard time believing it. This stuff provides disturbing spatial dimension sensory experiences. It gets a little smoother after the first glass, probably because it’s numbing up my palate. Even with a sense of smoothness, rolling in like heavy fog, it remains ill tempered. Finish is big alarming alky malt liquor 7.3% shock which is buzzy, impolite and crude. You’d never drink a growler of this stuff! So this is what the west coast is all about, wew. Alex, I owe you one for this. Love it, just love it!! Quite an experience. There is a significant risk that drinken rainer ale may have unintended consenquences which could ultimately result in the destruction of our planet. I’m surprised those west coasters didn’t pass a tree hugging law about this stuff.

16 oz. Can: Reluctantly sampled the remainder from a black-and-tan that I also was "fortunate enough" to sample. Pours bright gold with a white head and very active bubbles. Looks alive. Nose is watery, grain, and malty. Taste is very smooth, yet features no real flavor. Water that may or may not have been beer 8 or 9 filtrations ago...

Aroma of adjuncts. Corny. Brassy gold color with a decent white head. A bit thin in body. Sweet in a sicky sort of way. Not really near enough bitter to make this work. Query whether this is the old recipe of decades ago. Probably. Tastes change. Don’t know why I ever drank it back in the day.

(Can 47,3 cl) Clear, pilsener golden with a creamy, white head. Aroma of alcohol and brewing cereal. Fairly light body completely dominated by alcohol, sulphur and brewing cereal - all good stuff... Subdued bitterness. Your typical Malt Liquour. 190307
