Keep those clear resealable bottles out of sunlight and florescent light otherwise you'll end up with a skunky taste. I've been brewing for over 20 years - so trust me on this. That light in your refrigerator may be fluorescent, if so just put those resealable bottles in paper bags before you chill them. The amber/brown bottles will be fine as long as you don't store them in direct sunlight.
When you brewed it the hops released their oils/acids into the brew. These oils breakdown under the influence of light. This is why all older beers are bottled in brown bottles. The brewers that bottle in green glass (Grolsh, Heineken) sometimes develop off flavors and skunking. Those beers bottled in clear glass (Corona) are almost always skunked.

Oh my god! It is just so interesting thing what you told! Okay than, I will wrap them newspaper :) but how their taste changes under light?
