    Honestly thought it tasted worse than the bottle, and I am a huge advocate of canned hoppy beers.

    Noticed a huge drop off in hop flavor and aroma in the past few weeks. Really just tasted like carbonated malt.

    I doubt there's any difference. Maybe it'll stay fresh longer in cans, but that's just a maybe. I did enjoy drinking it straight from the can though; something I would never do with a bottle.

    Great taste and the most noticeable difference was that the garbage bag wasn't as heavy.

    I loved it this year from the can and draft. Haven't had a bottle.

    Ive been a big fan of cans as well. Had it both can and draft and enjoyed both. Plus that can you get 4 extra oz!

    Maybe it's just that I like canned beers better, but I was just crazy smitten with it in cans. Definitely prefer it over bottles.

    Difference between bottled and canned NN? It's all in your mind.

    Haven't tried it yet this year in any format, but the cans look f**king cool

    Wifey and I had a taste test as soon as it came in. In my opinion I liked the can a little better. The flavor was a little more seamless than the bottle. The bottle's hop profile came off with a bit more of a pithiness than the can.

    I liked the can better, but maybe that's all in my head. I think cans can sit a little longer too, which makes it ideal for hoppy beers.

    I've been disappointed with NN for at least a couple years. Used to be one of my all time favorites. Tried the bottle this year. I'm going to pass on the cans.

    I didn't think so. It's the same beer.

    Cans look sweet and give you 4 more ounces. Other than that, I noticed nothing different in the taste when fresh. And I've had my fair share of both formats over the past few weeks.

    I had it from a can a couple weeks ago and thought to myself "This is Nugget Nectar?" Definitely the most underwhelming I've had but I think it's just been steadily declining year after year and has nothing to do with it being in a can.

    Thought it was slightly better in a can than the bottle, but only tried 1 of each on different days, so could have been my palate.

    Drinking a bottled right now and I can confirm that it's better than the canned version I had a couple weeks ago. So strange. You would think the canned would be better but the one I had had very little bitterness and hop character while this one is the Nugget Nectar I know and love :confused:

    i had both and honestly couldnt tell any difference. maybe the bottle was a little better but it was tough to tell. couldve been different batches or something. liked it on draft the best though

    No analysis, loved it in the can. Would dig all pounders next year.
