    I've never tasted it from a can, but remember Tuborg on draft when i was in Turkey a few years ago and it was savage stuff altogether, so i'd go with that.

    It is a good beer, but i no a lad who used the bottles when making a home brew once and these bottles blew up!

    Nothin got to do with the thread but funny all the same.

    Dutch gold is your only man, my local offie (champers Limerick) recently did it in in a 12 pack for 12 bucks.
    A recession buster if i ever saw one.
