I dont really see the bottle conditioning and aging working well with cans.
With regards to taste plenty of people insist there is little or no difference - personally I do - but its probably in my head - I need to try the triangle test before I can say. Your the first to claim it tastes better !!
Personally I think its a backwards step for quality beer - maybe I'm old fashioned / stuck in the mud but to me Cans look and feel cheap. If you are heading out into a field with 10 cans under your arm fair enough <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt="" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: --> !

My prejudice is for bottle rather than can. It is really only based on the fact that in the past,beer that came from a can did not taste as good as from a bottle. That said,they case for canned beer is good. I suppose it really is a marketing thing.

Surely mini kegs are the same as cans and no-one talks about the ill effects these have on beer. I for one like good ales from cans. Once the beer inside is good then I dont mind how the brewery package it

I think someone will need to do a blind taste test! Personally, I haven't drank anything out of a can in ages, but that's just down to what's avilable in them.
