Landshark markets itself as an "island style lager" but whether its on their website or a Google search I really can't find what that really means. I know Margaritaville is based on the Caribbean islands and that lifestyle is also very prevalent in the Florida Keys and Hawaii. So what style is Landshark really based on? I've had the Jamaican Red Stripe beer and it tastes nothing like that (didn't like Red Stripe to be honest).
Is it more based on the Bahamas, the Virgin Islands, any local place in particular?
I think of the other beers I've had, Corona tastes the most like Landshark though the two aren't THAT similar. Corona is also an ideal beach/tropical beer though.
I will say that I have had a Kalik in the states and one in The Bahamas and it was better when I had it there. Don't think it has anything really special, but it is a distinct tasting beer.
Also Landshark is just a lager that is brewed in Florida and branded for a Restaurant/Brand/Singer.
This post reminds me a long time ago I had a Carib lager. It was a pale lager, glorpy sweet with almost no detectable hops. Kind of gross but I'd like to have another sometime to confirm my memories. I think I got it in a 12 pack of mixed "beers of the world" and haven't seen it since.

It's a great beach beer from Trinidad (they also have one in St. Kitts, last time I had it) but not a serious beer. Like Banks of Barbados, Balashi of Aruba and Polar of Venezuela, which are watery and slightly sweet. No hops whatsoever. So it's like drinking water with a slight kick. Maybe that's the idea behind "island style lagers" which are just lagers or pilsners with an advertising twist. (Remember the big Australian rage a few years back? A steakhouse chain made a fortune off that.) Make a very drinkable, nondescript beer and market it for the beach or other outdoors location.
I guess the marketing IS successful since I always associate Landshark with the beach now just like I associate Corona with beaches and relaxation.
I don't like Red Stripe too much. I've also had a Bahamas beer once, forgot what it's called, it was in this bar with a lot of exotic selections. The Kona Brewing Company in Hawaii also makes good tropical I think, though I don't think Hawaii, the Bahamas, or Jamaica have native beer brewing traditions.

Kona's Longboard Lager is really good. Landshark is not bad, but for half the price I can get a PBR or Miller which tastes just as good to me.
