Generic, light, lager with hints of apple and a sweet but clean finish. Good for a ballgame though.

If you're gonna have a Rainier, I'd suggest not chasing bad tequila with it.

Lots of bubblegum and pine hop sheen; on the sweet side. Dry wood resin mixed with maybe some lager funk, clean finish. Not bitter. Pretty darn good result of an unlikely collaboration; maybe a rarity now that Redhook has broken the commercial brewing contract.

Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyup.

Different than the last time I logged this - maybe it was skunked back then. This just struck me more as a slightly watery, corn-flavored American lager. Inoffensive, but also unremarkable. And not worth $4 for a mason jar, unless you really need to assert your hipster cred.

For Michael I am obliged to log this. On Saturday I went to a classy formal gathering for young adults atop a beautifully decorated rooftop deck. The occasion was a friendly sporting match between my neighbor's turd friends and I. The contents of the pbr were handed to me after a friendly spar with another athlete competing for the grand prize. I spit up the pbr, very gracefully like a majestic swan, all over my beer pong partner when forced to drink the loser's cup. This was less embarrassing than losing at beer pong to a turd, but a punishment I had to endure all the same.

The bartender claimed adding a slice of lime is called “Northwest Vacation.” I have now learned that I much prefer Rainier directly from a can, rather than on draft.

Unpleasant-smelling - musty, funky, combined with unexpected fruit, apple, maybe? - but not the skunkiest I've had this week. Flavor-wise, not bad. More complex than your average faceless mega-beer, but nothing special either.

Has a smell remini-scent of The 12th Can-- that sort of funky gym locker smell. Though a thin taste, its has a good bit of acidity to keep it interesting before finishing. Has a bit of fruit sweetness too, also present in the smell.

Yay beer?

My perception may have been colored by the fact that this was my first beer after a full day of rock climbing, but it was the most refreshing thing I'd had all day!
