I want to apologize for coming off as a bit of an ass, and you guys are right - I don't know Maurice, only what I've seen a bit of and heard from friends who live and work in Negril. I'll try not to be a "troll" here if I can help it. There's a lot I could say to respond to Robs post (and others), but I'll just let it go.

That being said, to say I was attacking him, and then not acknowledging that others were doing the same to me isn't exactly honest.

Anyway, on to the subject of beer.

All things being equal, meaning freshness, bottles and cans SHOULD taste exactly the same. The canned red stripe and the bottled red stripe tasted exactly the same to me.

I think I know why I have an aversion to the Red Stripe I've had on tap - I think that they don't bother to clean the lines as often as they should and that will definitely affect things and give it an "off" flavor. Maybe I'm more sensitive to it than most, I don't know.
