Too bad it's in a green bottle.

marketing > beer quality concerns = a beer I prefer to avoid.

Green and clear bottles allow hop oils to be subject to certain wavelengths of radiation (mostly from the sun) that allow the oils to turn or "skunk" (usually to a detectable level after just minute or so's length of time).

Ever wonder why it's "cool" to squeeze a lime in a Corona? The genius that came up with that gimmick deserves every cent he's ever earned.

Green bottles allow the same radiation to pass through them that clear bottles do.

Brown/Opaque bottles are the way to go.
