Keg v bottle

[Scott33b]

Hi folks. Just a quick question.
I bottled 6 and kegged the rest, it's a Festival Golden Stag.
I poured a bottle and a pint from the keg to compare.
I found the keg pint lighter in colour and possibly slightly smoother to drink.
Is this the norm?

I know you can get a taste difference but never heard of a colour difference before. But I don't bottle much.

How long was it before the sample? What colour glass was the bottle? Just wondering if sunlight could affect the colour...

 

[Scott33b]

The bottles were stored in a cupboard in a clear glass bottle. Both were not in sunlight.
Both were poured aft 4 weeks. Colour compared in glasses side by side.
Just thought it strange. Although I preferred the taste from the keg.
Going to give it another few weeks.

Be sure to keep clear glass bottles absolutely in the dark (not just away from sunlight).

might be a volume thing, with it conditioning out quicker with more volume in the keg? :

What did you prime the bottles with?

Thanks folks.
I primed with brewer sugar dissolved in boiling water. I used a syringe to put 5ml in to 6 bottles, the rest into the keg. It may just need a couple more weeks to clear more.
