| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Dec 13, 2009 This is a great beer, if only for a change of pace from PBR, Coors, or Miller. Otherwise, nothing too special. carruthm (1171), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Nov 9, 2009 Whoops, missed rating this awhile back. For a pale lager its well above BMC. smells of ripe corn with a matching body color. tastes like slightly sweet corn. acblue (64), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Oct 21, 2009 Easily my favorite yellow fizz. Not much to say; it beats the pants off of PBR, Bud and the like and it is the rarest cheap beer that I actively enjoy rather than view as a means to an end. poisoneddwarf (219), Rathdrum, Idaho, USA
| 1.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 1/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 3/20 | Sep 19, 2009 12 oz can. Initial aroma is of skunk and corn gone bad. These bad smells go away once it settles for a bit, leaving an unremarkable macro aroma. Surprisingly it pours a thick head which lasts longer than any other macro I’ve reviewed so far. [sidenote] Speaking of which, it wasn’t too long ago this wasn’t a macro! It was brewed in the Pacific Northwest, not by fucking Miller. Must everything they touch turn to shit?? njmoons (58), New Jersey, USA
| 0.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 2/5 | 2/10 | 1/5 | 2/20 | Sep 4, 2009 Back in my college days out west, we used to get kegs of Rainer Beer, for house parties etceteras. It was on tap at all the local bars, and cheap at the market.
In all that time I can honestly say I never enjoyed a single one.
Pale adjunct lager with almost no malt taste, and a terrible finish that made me think they must not ferment at lager temperatures.
There are worse beers, but not many. MrRoss (617), Delta, British Columbia, Canada
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Aug 26, 2009 A dependable, low cost swill. Not as good as the rival Olympia. Sadly, they had brilliant adverts in the late 70’s/early 80’s. What happened to them? llcooldave (337), San Antonio, Texas, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Aug 20, 2009 Nothing too complex here. It seems that this is your basic ’local’ macrobrew that does it’s job. At least it isn’t offensive and somewhat drinkable.
