    100% agreed. I had a four pack cans that was only 10 days old and it lacked the bite and hoppiness that a two month old bottle has. Not to sound pompous but anyone who says different does not drink two hearted religiously.

    Assuming fresh.
    Tap first.
    Cans next.
    Bottles

    I love the 16oz cans personally

    I do usually prefer IPAs from cans but I have experienced both the can and bottle at similar freshness and thought the bottle had the advantage. Maybe just in my head but whatever, good either way.

    Been preferring the cans lately, but honestly don't see too much of a difference. Cans have Ben holding up a bit longer though as far as all the hop flavor

    Not much of a difference in my view, but my palate is less seasoned than many of the grizzled veterans here.
    On tap it is absolutely sublime.

    Boy, with all due respect, I'm going to have to disagree with you here. Rarely does a day go by (for the last three years) where there's no Two Hearted in my fridge, and rarely will I buy it in bottles anymore. I think this beer suffers pretty badly from oxidation in a relatively short amount of time (I've found this to be the case with big Centennial beers in general), and it seems brewers are achieving smaller amounts of dissolved oxygen and headspace with cans, depending on the canning system. I think they benefit this beer, personally.

    Both Two Hearted and Oberon are both better out of the can.

    News flash.

    Same beer in both cans and bottles and tastes the same.

    Cans are way better in my experience.

    Better on tap than either cans or bottles.
