Why does sometimes beer get “skunky”?

Did you know that beer can sometimes have an unpleasant taste due to specific chemical compounds?

The term “skunky” was given by Dr. Malcolm D. Forbes , professor of chemistry at the University of North Carolina after claiming that  it’s almost identical to the compound found in a skunk’s notorious anal glands. 

But why does beer get “skunky”? It’s not because of temperature, like many people believe, but because of light exposure.
