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.

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.

This syrup is the richest most tasty syrup I have ever tried. I use it on baked oatmeal every day.

Lyle's Golden Syrup tastes great on cornbread, pancakes, muffins, and waffles. Pecan pie tastes better with it. The price was better through Amazon than at the only grocery store in my area that carries it. My order arrived quickly.

We love this because my family cannot tolerate corn syrup. Corn syrup either gives my kids a headache or makes them angry. This is a safe alternative for them for when we make any recipe that requires corn syrup. It does have a bit of a caramel flavor, but it tastes great.

I absolutely love this stuff and am using it in place of molasses (which has too intense a taste for me) in all recipes. I have also used it in place of either light or dark corn syrup as well, and am experimenting with substituting it for maple syrup since pure maple syrup is even pricier than the Lyle's.

Amazon's price for the 6-pack is definitely less per bottle than the prices in my local supermarkets, so once again Amazon comes through with flying colors for stocking my pantry!

I had not seen it in plastic bottles before(it used to be in tins or glass),.But it is excellent in baking and a must have for the Holiday seasons.I would like to see it back in the metal tins or glass.

This made the best pecan pie ever. Not just sweet like corn syrup. Actually adds a great flavor to the pie.

This has an excellent flavor and it is a great substitute for corn syrup.

I have no idea if this is a good price or not because I couldn't find any local. However, I will be ordering again when I run out.

I saw it mentioned in a doughnut recipe book and I can understand why it was mentioned now that I've used it.

It could probably be used in place of honey in certain recipes as well.
