Strykzone (1071), Wood River, Illinois, USA Apr 25, 2008 Picked up a 12 pack for tailgating before a Buffet Concert. Drank out of the clear bottle. Pretty much looked, smelled, and tasted like an AB Pale Lager. Maybe toss in a little wood. The "island attitude" is more in the marketing than the flavor. It would be a lot more fun rating the show than the beer.
gilvanblight (360), Windsor, Ontario, Canada Nov 28, 2008 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’ daknole (1131), Plantation, Florida, USA Nov 21, 2008 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!!!! MrBunn (951), Western, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 21, 2008 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.)

Sarah Jessica Parker beer – only instead of looking like a foot, it tastes like a foot. matt7215 (629), Cambridge, Ontario, Canada Nov 18, 2008 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.
