Nice fresh malty aroma,crips clean flavor with a malty overtone,good mouthfeel and throat feel.Very clean finish.Smoothe all the way.

Decent, average American lager. Not much taste and slightly watery, so I’d say it is about comparable to Coors. This was a once-common Pacific Northwest regional brand originally brewed at the Heidelberg plant in Tacoma, Washington. After that brewery closed, Rainier in Seattle picked up the brand, but it became increasingly hard to find even in its native Northwest. With the Rainier brewery closing I’m not sure if it’s even being made anymore. Worth picking up if you run across it. A good "thirst quencher" beer.

Lots of great memories from this lager. 3 cases for ten dolars. The taste was a little watery but it looked and tasted like beer. Pretty good for a cheap beer. Good value.

This was another of the cheap beer I used to steal from daddys stash. He drank whatever was the cheapest that day. I remember this to be one of the better ones

Ok had wondered about buying this ( as it only comes in 12 packs) for a while.I hardly see it, only in a few grocery stores, though I hear once it was a quite popular beer in the PNW. I am afraid its not a terribly good looking beer poured into a glas , pale cooking oil yellow colour, large white head that dissapears in an instant leaving little. Smell is mainly sweet maltiness..corny. Flavour is not that bad really..when very cold..its all malts of course, quite sweet,semi dry finish with some bitter aftertaste whic i doubt is hops. KInda thin and watery on the palate. Its drinkable in hot weather ,outdoors( i was camping)..but would not reach for this again

Fizzy, watery, about in the same league as Hamm’s or Animal beer. Apparently not commonly available.

Whew, haven’t voluntarily drunk a beer this bad since my wasted youth when this sort of stuff was known as "Lawn mowing" beer & Coors (if you could find it) passed as a microbrew. Still, for the former category, it was a decent chaser/thirst slaker. Says it was made from "NW waters", probably a label design holdover from the days it was brewed in the Sea-Tac area (didn’t drink it then but once or twice). I traded a can of e-Bud (see my other review today) I had just picked up (this time @ $12/case, its growing on me!) for 2 of these while doing another dock sale nearby. A fair trade, I’d say. Not much point in parsing my ratings except as a scientific excercise.

Back in the day...when this stuff was brewed in the state of Washington it was one of the hoppier beers we could get. It also had the distinction of being sold in "keg" shaped bottles which were cool.
