Diacetyl

[Padraic]

Does anyone know of a commercial beer that has diacetyl as part of it's flavour profile?

Or is anyone brewing a lager that they could syphon a few litres for me before the diacetyl is cleaned up at the end of fermentation?

Thanks!

I'm all take take take these days! But only for the good of the club!

Fullers ESB is meant to have diacetyl - I think Fullers fermentation schedule and yeast strain are geared towards having a little diacetyl. Youngs Special London Ale is another you could try. My diacetyl threshold is fairly low so I can't give you a definitive answer. Hope this helps

Rolling rock as far as I know.

Pilsener Urquell. Bohemian Plisener as far as I recall is the only BJCP style for which diacetyl is acceptable.

Not sure if Olm, as reviewed here, is still available but it had a serious honk of dactyl. The same source suggested that Tom Crean lager might possibly have had a touch of dactyl.
