I propose a controversial theory - You can predict beer flavour by the colour of the glass it's bottled in.
I've tried a couple of hundred beers from around the world and I've noticed...
1. Brown Bottles = Strong flavour, medium/heavy body. Mostly ales or strongly flavoured lagers. Generally good beer e.g. Coopers Pale, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Trappist beers
2. Green Bottles = Grassy hop flavour, medium/light body. Mostly premium lagers. Some good, some bad e.g. Heineken, Carlsberg, Grolsch, Hahn Premium, Boags Premium
3. Clear Bottles = Dry, high carbonation, light body. Mostly tasteless lagers & low carb rubbish - Steer clear of clear bottles! e.g. Coopers Clear, Carlton Cold, Amstel, Corona
Cleary there are exceptions e.g. Tooheys New should be a clear bottle :lol:
Maybe they put crap beers in clear bottles because they figure adding sunlight could only improve them
