Lager - Bottle > Draft > Can ?

Why does bottled beer taste far superior to either the draft or can'd variety?

For example today, when to the pub at lunch had a few pints of Stella (funnily enough didn't wipe out productivity) tasted how it always does.

On the way home waiting for the train at Victoria and thought get a couple of Stella's for the train ride back to West Malling, did so, tasted different to the draft.

Get home, had some bottled Stella in the fridge and it tasted so much better than either can or draft, why is this?

Anyone forumites concur?

A good draft beer in a nice glass can taste as good as a bottle, cans are just not suited for beer, just a cheap way to produce, I never buy cans unless its European beer.

Coke always tastes far better from a glass bottle too.

Bottles are consistent, draft beer is not.

A good draft pint kicks arse over a bottle when it comes to refreshing you on a hot day.
