These were two beers from the same 4-pack. Ceramic flip-top. Same pull date, Nov., 2019. Both bottles have been in the fridge the entire time, mostly in complete darkness, and at a constant 36 degrees.
One was drinkable, one was non-drinkable. We tested the soapy glass theory, by using different perfectly clean (odor free) glassware.
The soapy beer was soapy, no matter what glass was used. I thought it was quite odd, having a distinct, and a strong aroma of the scent that is common in dish detergent.
And...I have had the pleasure of consuming Grolsch on draft in Amsterdam. Never skunky, no cardboard, and no soap. In fact, it was (still is) one of my go-to beers when in The Netherlands.
