Hmmm, just ripped down this bitch in about 45 minutes and it hit the spot hardcore. About as I remembered it, the 7.3% is obvious but the taste is totally decent. This one gave a very nice crack and tasted nearly exactly the same from start to finish. Nice buzz, and easy to drink, despite not being my favorite flavor and it's a bit heavy. This has never been a choice 40 of mine, but has been more than satisfactory every time. Taste: B- Buzz: B+. 8 out of 10 swills, because of the buzz, and because of the rarity of a 7%+ having a totally insignificant swill. But I'd rather take a Big Bear any day.

First off, thanks to Vile and Satan for the opportunity to drink this 40. Wow, I'm amazed by the great taste of this. The hiss and crack was an amazing start to this little adventure. A loud crack followed by a nice long hiss made me drool at the thought of the actual taste. This has to be one of the best I've had. Those lucky enough to have regular access to this make me very jealous. I would say this has a taste that combines Heinekin and Little Kings. I know this may sound odd, but its what i immediately thought. The buzz was great, perfect for ending my day. I give this a 9 out of 10

Just got the legendary Rainier Ale in a trade from IMT40s and damn this is good stuff. Tastes like Private Stock and Ballantine, but waaaaaaay stronger. And let's be honest, what's wrong with that? At 7.3%, I'd slam this shit on a regular basis if I could get it near me. Man, every single one of the west coast versions (Big Bear, Hurricane Ice, Rainier, etc.) kicks my ass hard. They all taste the same, or better, than their east coast counterparts, yet deliver a much better bang for the buck. I'd love to sit on top of Mt. Rainier, drinking a Rainier Ale. At the increased elevation, I'd really get my buzz on! You guys on the west coast don't realize how good you got it, this is really some great stuff. 7/10 easily..............wait, fuck it, I never did it before but I'll give it a 7.5 if that's possible?

First of all, thanks to Vile for this hook up. This is a fantastic tasting 40! The crack was like a whip, and after hearing that sound I knew I was in for something good. And let's get something out of the way right now: my Rainier brew does not smell like weed. At all. The first sip revealed a taste quite similar to Private Stock or Ballantine. Further swills reveal this to be a pretty strong 40 (7.3%). I'm about 2/3rds down...and feeling the buzz (and today I DID eat something before the review...). Ok, I just finished the rest of this 40. The claim that the first sip and the last sip taste different is not something I buy. They tasted pretty much the same to me. I recommend this 40 to everyone.

Here's what I've been told about Rainier Ale: Smells like weed, starts out OK, turns into ass, it's nicknamed "Green Death". Here's what I thought: I didn't notice the weed smell, I thought it would be cool if it did smell like weed especially since it's green. In the beginning it was pretty good, it reminded me of how Ballantine tasted when I first tried that but by the middle this shit really does get deadly. All in all I liked it more than I disliked it and I'd love to try it again.

Drank this 40 last nite before heading out. this brew had the strangest aftertaste of any 40 i've ever had, very unique indeed...it was almost a metallic taste. Good all around 40 though, and at 7 somthing percent, it started the night off right.

First of all it is weird to me calling it Rainier Ale, I know thats the proper name but for as long as I can remember we here in the N.W. have always called it "Green Death". I'm not a fan of ale's but this one stands out in flavor and buzz. At the first hiss upon opening this 40 I always notice a fart like smell (more on farts later) if you smell this also, don't worry it's not skunked it's just a stinky ale to begin with. I never like the first couple of drinks but for some reason it tastes better when its a little warm. Now for the prize! It's fairly known and some may debate it but I'm very positive that "green death" will make you "fart like a beast", it never fails, the day after is always like an orchestra in my shorts with some funk added just to remind you what you swilled the night before. Overall this is a great ale with a good buzz. I give it a 7.5 out of 10.

Many thanks to Orentha for hooking this one up. I drank one of these on a too-drunk night in Seattle many moons ago, and thought it was just about unbearable. This time around, I thought it was pretty good. Rainier Ale is a sharp-tasting, sweet and sour "cream ale." If that description doesn't turn your stomach, drinking this shit will. I'm exaggerating really, I actually enjoyed this 40 in a way. Its buzz makes up for the strange, untoward smells and tastes that emanate from the small mouth green bottle with the big red R. 7 out of 10 swills.

This tastes like a Mickey's or Little Kings (or other green bottle drink) that's been concentrated like hell. It really does smell like weed. At least 3 people have told me it made them fart like a motherfucker but I've yet to get any effects of that manner. We'll see what happens when its gone...its gettin' there... Buzz: B+, Taste: B-

first of all, thanx to beam for hooking me up with this 40oz. i drank a 22oz of some 10.8% brew and i figure i needed to get more wasted. so i tap into the rainer ale. good hiss when i cracked it, good smell and my first impression was that this shit is really sweet. maybe it tasted sweeter than normal cuz i just had some strong ass brew...who knows. all i know i woke up at around 6 in the morning, shivering under a sheet...my backyard door was wide open, windows open. and i see the rainer 40 with about 1/4th of the beer still in it. man this shit got me fucked up real nice...i dont even remember passing out...8 out of 10 swills for this bitch

This is my brew of choice. I have this shit flowing through my veins. I drink this shit on the reg sons, thats right jealous bitches, I can get this no problem. Now that Im done gloating, all I gotta say is that this 40 has the taste I look for in all brews. Crisp, oh so very very crisp, with a great ale flavor. Granted, it does smell like shit (like most ales do), but the smell is deceiving, because the taste is fantastic. Its shocking to think that this shit is 7.3%, I can drink one of these down quick, and Ill have a very strong buzz. And no, it doesnt give me nasty farts. Overall, 10 outta 10 swigs.
