Proper Job is bottled conditioned so yes should be better than in a can. Not sure I have ever had it in a can though. But I agree with Nicholls that draught would be better still.

Number 5 on my draught/cask list tonight  Brewers Gold from Crouch Vale. Former Champion Beer of Britain. There was nothing wrong with the pint I had but I would put money that they either have a new head brewer, or they have moved the brewery to a different location or they have tweaked the recipe. It was not quite the Brewers Gold that I know and love.
On the bottled list number 8 a White Peroni 0.0% Not bad for an alcohol free but as expensive as a Red Peroni with alcohol which doesn't seem right to me

Adding: Whippet (Harvieston); Orange Pale Ale (Citrus City/Lidl); Welcome to Vermont (Hilden X Flavourly); The 1079 Project pilsner (Aldi); Duvel Blond; Time To Fly (Loch Lomond X Flavourly); OOFT Peach Blond (First Chop); Proper Job (St Austell.
Sixteen so far: probably more, but not certain which were this year, and which before.

I've added Orkney's Northern Light this evening (and the bottled PJ, but I'm not sure if I can count that as separate?)

Northern Light is my least favourite Orkney Brewery product, but still acceptable. Especially after the Hoy Half Marathon.
Bipassed a couple of bottles of Dark Island in the fridge tonight to go for a Belhaven 80'. Probably the first decent beer I drank in my youth after being tied to the hideous combination of McEwans Export and Tartan Special.

The thing I could never understand about McEwans Export was why TAF it was still here. FFS min, it even says it on the tin Export the bloody stuff!! McEwans, Tartan and Tennents - dark days indeed.
I would agree with your sentiments on Northern Light too. I'm sure they've changed the recipe. It was a disappointment tonight, for sure. Belhaven's on my shopping list.
