This might not necessarily be "home brewing" related, but possibly could be, since we all use either bottle or keg.
I'll use Heineken as a prime example . From a fresh bottle (The 50% of the time when it's not skunked) it's very smooth, one of my favorites. (Yes, I wish they sold Heinken in brown bottles too)
From a can, it's almost undrinkable to me. It tastes like a completely different beer. Very dark and musky, and a lot more harsh.
Is this only in my head, or is there a real science to this?
