Aside from the use of green Bottles and the resulting skunkiness, this is a pretty solid Austrian "Märzen", also known as a "Helles" round these parts.

Blind-tasted except for the beer's name and brewery/country, zero reviews below read (yet!)...
L- Very pale golden, clear with a 5mm snow white fine-bubble head. ps@+10mins holds really well, in fact it has progressively grown and is now about 12mm high. Plus, lacing on the way down.
S- Grainy and slightly bready.
T- Moderately hoppy-dry (trad hops, of course), followed by balancing malts, with a gentle hoppy zing in the tail. Overall it comes over as trad and perhaps historic.
F- Very Marzen, a good trad lager but incorporating added malts for body and balance. Makes for a a versatile year-'round beer.
O- Very sessionable as a go-to beer if this were a local beer at local prices over in Europe. I bought this in the UK as a niche import so all-in it cost more than makes this a repeat purchase. A good example of it's style though, and a reminder of why I am a fan of the style.
500ml bottle BB: 27/10/2021 £3 Bought from TremblingMadness, York/UK as part of a large pick-your own consignment to London.

The colour is cool yellow (5 EBC), the liquid is clear. The beer pours with a fizzing sound. Te two finger head is white, uneven and firm. No lacing occurs.

The smell is very sweet and a bit frowsy and heavy with cereal flavours, some fresh flowers and a mild hint of clean hops.

The taste is sweet with lots of malts and some wort. Corn Flakes… A light clean bitterness develops in the otherwise very sweet drink. Some dry minerals in the finish.

The carbonation is medium strong, the medium sized bubbles quite soft. The liquid is light.

A beer that tastes cheaper than it probably was.
