This was a popular beer with our group of friends when I was in high school back in the 70s. Back then, 12 ounce bottles seemed to be the way to go.
I think of this as sort of a bowling alley beer-thinking of a typical Cold War era bowling alley and what they would be serving.

Still available today, and something I have purchased a couple times in recent months.

Also a memory from the 70s. Also still available.
The one I can no longer find is Schlitz.

I’m going to contradict articles that tell us beer is skunky because light gets to brews shipped in green/clear bottles.
Here is a detailed article explaining why I am wrong on this.
I’m not convinced.
Here’s why:
The skunk is known and desired by some.
Beers shipped in green/clear bottles taste just about the same when tapped from a keg or poured from a can.
Beers shipped in green/clear bottles are packaged in cardboard boxes/containers that do not let light in. No light gets to the brews until they arrive at the place where you purchase them. In many cases, you may take the beer home and leave it in the cardboard box/container until you put it in a cooler & dump ice on top.
Skunky flavor even when shipped in a can:
Ditto:
Similar flavor here:
Zero flavor here (skunky or otherwise) even though shipped in a green bottle:

Dozens of taste tests of this brew reveal no skunky flavor.
Not even one time.
