Medium amber. Medium head. Surprisingly little aroma. That and the dark colour already have me losing hope. Simcoe doesn't like too much malt. And the palate is a major let down. Sweet, bit boozy, pretty much zero simcoe brightness, pretty much just sweet malts that go nowhere. Nice lacing, though. There's even some butter in here. Fuck diacetyl.

Draft - Malty and sweet with some buttery notes. Clear gold with a decent white head. Malty and fruity with a large amount of bitterness. Old school.

Draught at Darby's Gastown, Vancouver
Light amber color, clean. Strong buttery aroma, a bit estery, fruity. Sweet body with little character, orangey hops, and loads of diacetyl.
Extremely flawed, deeply unpleasant.

On tap at Darby's Gastown, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma is totally infected by diacetyl, with not much else discernible. Flavour is disgusting, being totally infected with diacetyl. One of the worst diacetyl issues I've had recently. Undrinkable.
