Has a rather pleasant winey profile that seems to distinguish it from other malt liquors. At 7.3 abv and $3.99/sixer at BevMo, gets the job done in a nice way. Obviously, it ain’t really an "ale"....but, hey, it IS good for what "AILS" YA.’

Loved this "beefy" ale on my many trips to the Pacific Northwest. More hops, richer amber color---and more alcohol---than micro brews!

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.

I got this after scanning the isles at bevmo for the cheapest and high abv. And this beer doesnt disappoint. Pours a piss yellow, thin white fizz. Taste is malt liqour.. rotting corn, bad malt, and horse piss. It’ll get you drunk.

A good basic ale. Nothing poarticular stands out about this beer, aside from the can it comes in. But it’s not bad, and is clean and crisp.

The west coast version of Ballantine Ale, only Rainier Ale has a much higher % Ɨ.3%) An ice cold 40 of RA will do two things, give you a great buzz and make you think you are drinking some high dollar micro brewed ale. It does not get any better then Ballantine or Rainier Ale.
