LandShark Lager

Brewed by Anheuser-Busch InBev
Style: Pale Lager
St. Louis, Missouri USA

I saw this in KY in a Kroger and just couldn’t pass up Buelette Beer! Straw yellow pour with tons of frothy head. Skunky hops scent. Waterry and generic. Slight better hops aftertaste. Reminds me of Corona and is about as ’good’

Come on, why? Why I say? Jimmy Buffett should be ashamed to put his name with this. bland yellow pour. white head. grainy and bland aroma. grainy and a hint of sweetness on the tongue. not a good beer at all!!!!

Bottle. Well, as you can probably tell through the clear glass (frown) bottle, color is a urine yellow, but what you can’t perceive until pouring it is that a large, fizzy head will erupt and quickly fade. If you left it in the bottle, you would also miss out on the aromas... which are better than the appearance, but still smack of American Macrolager: light corn with a bit of grass. Nothing particularly offensive in the nose, just nothing to entice, either. Aroma is the strong suit, Flavor is a meaningless amalgam of corn, corny sweetness and water. It leaves a bit of an unpleasant flavor in the mouth, and I can see how a lime or a lemon might help out this beer. (And anytime my beer needs fruit, things look bleak.)

Crushed with Jakebra. Sarah Jessica Parker beer – only instead of looking like a foot, it tastes like a foot.

355 ml clear bottle. well within the best before date. my parents were recently traveling through upstate NY and Vermont and my dad picked up a mixed 6er of micros for me and a case of landshark for himself. this brew pours pale yellow with a decent head with minimal retention. active carbonation. the aroma when cold is of nothing. as it warms some sweet corn comes out and at the very end some passable pale lager real malt actually shows up. the flavour is similar to the aroma. actually not terrible but nothing really good about it. some atually decent malt does come through but there is way to much corn and no hop bitterness. the carbonation actually holds the sweetness is check. not something id ever buy but it wasnt totally a waste of time.

12oz bottle. I know know why everyone keeps making this stuff and repackaging it. While there is nothing wrong wtih this beer (i.e., no off aromas or flavors) it is exactally what you would expect from a pale Lager. I understand if you want to serve this at Margaritaville, but why mass market it?

Bottle. Pours pale gold with a rich thick head. Smells of grainy, earthy malts. Tastes of corn grain, but very crisp and refreshing, with very mild hops. Perfectly accented with a lemon and not a lime, since this is an island beer like Carib and not a mexican beer like Corona and Modelo. Overall, it is one of the best hot region beers and I always recomend it to my friends when we are out drinking.

Aroma is lacking, traces of grass, malt, and maybe some hops. Flavor was almost as bland as the smell, a little sweetness, followed by a touch of hops. Not much here.
