When I buy lager on tap in the pub or in cans I can taste the lager as it's supposed to be and I can easily tell the subtle difference between brands. But when I buy the exact same brands in glass bottles all I can taste is a beery, yeasty flavour. I can't tell one lager from another. Anyone else have a problem with bottled beer/lager. |

I don't know if cans are more consistent than bottles, but I would agree that kegs are usually spot on. The same can be said with real ale. I don't know why it is, but they say conditioning is faster and more consistent in large volumes. Also, I believe that bottled beer and kegged/casked beer are often made at different breweries. I know that bottled versions of a lot of popular casked real ale are made by someone else, often to quite different recipes. I'm not sure, but could well be the same with some brands of lager. |

I must say, that I very rarely buy "lager", but if I do it's usually MDCLXIV. When I was in Panamá, I spent some time with a guy who was spearheading a new cigarette factory for BAT. He explained, that with global brands (in this case Marlboro) they had an 80% basic blend, then devised the rest from perceived and trialled local tastes. I bought mine from the officers club at the airforce base as they came in from the U.S. and the local ones were 'orrid. |

Ive got 40 pints of Wherry to bottle tomorrow. I like Cobra, this does taste different to me, better than the usual lager dross. |
