Most lagers from the Continent have some staling.  If you smell honey like aromas, that is oxidation.  I don't buy as many German Pilsners as I used to.  But I can make some fresh ones!

Bitburger in a can, it's a life saver!

If you like Bitburger.   

The local Pizza/Italian place had 4 beers on draft when I lived in Germany.  Koenig, Kostritzer, Warsteiner, and Bitburger.  That was my order of preference.

i left a homebrew in the sun for a few minutes and was surprised how fast it skunked.

Definitely some interesting answers. For my situation, I've decided not to worry about it. Fortunately, it turns out that my green bottles are closed in a box. I'm smarter than I thought. I have some commercial beers as well as some homebrew in brown bottles that were exposed. I can't imagine the weak florescent light had much effect on the brown bottles. If it did, there weren't many.

Somebody more ambitious than I should do an experiment with florescent lighting.

All sounds about right, as I can walk from the backdoor to the pool (25 ft) and the beer is skunked.

If you quit leaving the cat food outside the skunks won't be attracted.
