Landshark

Landshark

Landshark Lager is an American beer brewed by the Maragaritaville Brewing Company.

From what I understand Landshark is Jimmy Buffett’s beer and that Maragaritaville Brewing Company is basically just Anheuser-Busch. Landshark is billed as an “island style lager” (whatever the fuck that means). It has a bright golden color and makes a great head when poured. There isn’t much of a smell except the slight hint of hops, which gives it a very subtle, floral sent. The taste is smooth and even with a clean finish, though somewhat bland, but would be well accompanied with a slice of lime. The low alcohol content makes this a very drinkable beer, but the taste is just too much like all the other Anheuser-Busch to be a real standout.

Though this beer is lacking in any real substance, there is something to be said for it’s great drinkability, and is probably one of the best Anheuser-Busch beers I’ve had. If you like American style, or island style (still have no idea what the fuck that means) beers then give this a go. You will probably like it a lot. For me though it’s too bland with no real substance.

Pilsner Urquell

PilserUrquell

Pilsner Urquell is the first beer I’m reviewing.

Pilsner Urquell is brewed in Pilsen in the Czech Republic. It is clear, bright, and golden in color with a wonderful citrus/lime sent. It has a mild hop flavor with a slightly bitter, but satisfying finish. The taste is a little bland at first, but has great drinkability.

Having a Czech upbringing, and trying many different beers from that region, the taste is familiar to me. This is a good beer but there is nothing that stands out among the many beers with this same taste. If the taste was a little more robust and not so bland it could have made a better impression on me.
