In that scenario, you are wrong my friend.

I personally tested this about 15 years ago in the parking lot of a truck
stop with Miller - The Champagne of Beers.
(Clear Glass)

Nice summer day (about 86 degrees f )

I bought one (1) six pack, went back to the truck, opened one (1) bottle and
set another (1) bottle beside the truck in the afternoon sun.

The first beer tasted as expected (pretty ****in' shitty)

The one that sat in the sun for 15 minutes was like drinking skunk ****.
(not that I've ever done that)

Clear glass and green glass can impart a sensory defect to the brew due to
exposure to sunlight. Only brown glass can block the skunk rays.


Don't believe me? I don't care.

Genetically altered, light resistant hops....
