Whoz Gettin Druck To Night?

There isn't a metallic taste! Get an Arizona Ice tea, a pepsi/coke, a V8. No metallic taste. Enough out of me...

I realize that there are a lot of things against the can, but I just want to point out a couple of things:

1. Light is the enemy of beer, so why not use a product that allows zero light into your beer. Imagine having Corona, Heineken and all of those other beers that we rag on not tasting skunked.

2. They are lined and so aren't giving any taste to the product.

3. Do you drink beer out of the bottle? If so then you (this is the royal you, not just the singular you) are not able to get all of the flavor anyways and so drinking anything our of a can will all taste the same whether it's pepsi, BMC or a fine craft brew.

4. Lightweight and so the shipping costs are less.

Personally - I think its a mental thing dating back to the military. I recall eating steak off a metal plate. The sound of the knive scraping and the taste totally turned me off to steak for a long time.

All your points are valid. I may impose a bias just knowing its from a can. I probably would NOT detect it in a blind taste test.

BTW - I never drink out of a bottle. Need a glass every time. SWMBO thinks I'm crazy when I go out to dinner and order a SA or SNPA and they fail to bring a glass with the beer. I always ask for one too.
