I believe I am highly sensitive to diacetyl or I am confusing it with another flavor...
I do not drink Sam Adams that often. Only because I do not purchase that much commercial beer overall and when I do I try to sample new things. I think Sam Adams is solid beer overall. I recently tried their Irish Red and thought it rather buttery. Then I was out bowling and the only good beer in the lounge was Boston Lager so I had a few. Again, I found it a bit buttery. It has been a year or more since I have had any other Sam Adams and I think lately my tastes have either become more acute or more acutely screwed up!
Anyone else find at least some SA beers to have a diacetyl character? Perhaps even some other East Coast breweries? It may be the yeast strains...
edit: Damn wireless keyboard is low on batteries. Thus all the spelling mistakes. Yeah that's it, it is the keyboard! Not operator error!
