COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Rainier beer brings together nature’s bounty from the great Northwest. Pure spring waters combine with golden barley and verdant hops to produce a beer rich in taste and texture. Fermented slowly with a pedigree yeast culture under tightly controlled conditions, Rainier comes forth with a satisfying malty flavor over a slightly fruity background, spiced with Chinook, Mt. Hood, and Willamette hop notes.

355ml can pours a pale straw color with 2 fingers of white head that settles quickly leaving a few spots of lacing on the glass. Aroma is light grains and hops. Taste is light malty sweetness with a moderate hop bitterness that lingers, but is not offensive. Typical macro lager.

NobleSquirrel (2570) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - OCT 4, 2011
From the can at GABF. Pours an okay pale yellow. Nose is pretty faint, some soft hop notes do peek out, as does generic grain. On taste, actually pretty pleasant and refreshing. Light bitterness and clean. I’d drink it again if we could get it here.

6-Pack of tall boys for $6.00. Deal! I was in the mood for plain Pale Lager. Tastes like home.

UPDATED: JUL 10, 2011 It’s like a liquid pastry. Pick up an 18 pack of this and you won’t be disappointed. Make sure you carry it around on your shoulder like a ghetto blaster. Porbably my US Macro of choice so far. Totally respectable.

dchmela (2218) - Orlando, Florida, USA - APR 8, 2011
From the 24oz can. Pale yellow pour with a thin white head. Taste is light, crisp malt, slightly sweet and a touch of corn, but not cloying like some other pale lagers. Musty hop, adjunct aroma. While I don’t like the style, this is a lot better than most pale lagers.

Draft @ The Market Arms, Seattle, WA. Pours a clear pale golden color with a small white head. Has a fruity grainy aroma. Sweetish malty grainy flavor with some weak hints of hops. Has a sweetish malty grainy finish.

I only like it because it is a local beer. I would overlook it if I couldn’t see the same mountain out my window as I do on the can.
