Drastic Mezures: 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 it 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.
