3.0 out of 5 stars Okay for pancakes but not as good as the can., July 21, 2010

This review is from: Lyle's Golden Syrup, Original, All-Natural Syrup for Baking and Cooking, 11-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 6) (Grocery)

The canned version is better (for everything) as it is thicker and tastier. The bottle version seems to be looser and not as flavorful. It is admittedly more convenient, but I don't think the loss of flavor is worth the convenience.

5.0 out of 5 stars much better than tins, November 2, 2007

Amazon Verified Purchase

I first discovered "golden syrup" in the beautiful green & gold tins. While not nearly as lovely on the shelf, the transparent plastic bottles are MUCH superior in measuring, pouring and storage. I found the tin imparted a nasty metallic taste to the syrup, if stored after opening. So, I started substituting dark corn syrup whenever possible :(
Squeezing the syrup into a measuring spoon or cup is easier, tidier and more accurate than pouring or dipping. No bitter off-taste and better unit price? GREAT! I'm stocking up!

As a kid I grew up enjoying Lyle's Golden Syrup. Our family had it as a special treat and to help medicine go down! It has been difficult to find here in America, especially at a reasonable price, so I was very happy to find it at Amazon. I have ordered it twice now and will continue to order it in the future. I like the bottles it comes in, they are so much easier to use than the traditional tin cans. The only problem I have had is with our second order. The bottles were not packed very securely in the box and a couple of them burst open during shipping. When we opened the box there was syrup all over the interior, a gooey mess. When we informed Amazon of the problem they immediately sent a replacement order which arrived in a timely fashion. I was very pleased with their response although a little worried since the packing of the second box didn't look much more secure than the first. It did make if safely though.
