A chance to knock out an old brewery location in Nevada that is just endless business failure. Like seriously, how many different breweries in this same location?
Anyways, pours a soft blonde color indicative of the style, requisite clarity, 1/2" white head, average retention. Harsh unmistakable diacetyl in the nose. This is not cool man.
Taste as the previous rater bArF indicated, does clean up the diacetyl a bit, but not completely. Light sulphur and butter notes give the body a thicker mouth feel. While blonde ales aren't meant to be a massive flavor explosion, this one was unfortunately pushed by a diacetyl edge just as hard as any other (intended) ingredient and result in this beer.
In the end, it was an up and down experience from the pretty pour, the foul aroma, the marginal taste, and the better mouth feel. I once dated a tiny lil size 3 shoe wearing DDD cup 4'10" girl, so I dig the name too. They're a bit different upstairs though.

Very clean looking beer, a warm sunshine yellow, decent lace down the glass as the beer was consumed. Aroma was slightly offputting, strange, it made me think diacetyl, thankfully, that was only in the nose.
Taste was refreshing, had a slight floral kick to it, lacked any bitterness or anything beyond the most slight hop representation, seemed similar to many kolsch beers I've had. Most importantly, it never felt watery, but was easily drinkable. Cool beer name to boot.
