May 5, 2008 Taster, Happy Harry’s, Fargo, USA. Fruit punch colour, sharp tomato/alcohol aroma. Overly carbonated for a beer/clamato mix. Sour and strangely sweet. Not good.

May 3, 2008 16oz can from Tiger Town in Gardiner. Pours a pinkish-red fairly opaque body with large bubble head that dissipates quickly. Smells like tomato with lime. Tastes like tomato, clam, with hints of lime. Medium in body with low carbonation. Not horrible I guess, but not what I’m looking for out of a beer.

Apr 30, 2008 16oz can - Screw it. I’m just going to paste part of my Bud Light Chelada rating. This one isn’t as pink. It didn’t seem quite as salty, but I gave up sooner and drained poured it after 3-4 oz. It smells like tomato paste. It tastes like some sort of sweet, salty tomato, only worse. I can taste some lime in there too and that other odd flavor might be the clam. I don’t know. I’ve never had clamato. I’d never even heard of it before this stuff came out, let alone of mixing it with beer. I guess it’s not something that’s ever caught on in Indiana. If this "beer" is an example of what happens when you mix clamato and beer, I’m really freaking glad it hasn’t caught on much here. It’s awful. They could have at least laid off the salt a little bit. I can’t finish this crap and I’ll finish almost any beer. Then again, calling this beer is a huge stretch. Horrible. 0.7 is being too generous, really.

Apr 28, 2008 Can, 24 oz. Pours tomato red with a small, diminishing pink head. Cloudy and heavily particulate. Aroma of tomato and hops. Sweet and salty on the palate, and a very soft carbonation. What you would expect carbonated tomato juice to taste like. Not overly alcoholic. An interesting and different offering. Enjoyed it with shrimp fried ride, which worked out good to enhance the salt and clam flavors.

Apr 26, 2008 Can: It has a decent aroma of tomato, lime and onion, and really gets the juices flowing. From there, everything goes horribly, horribly, wrong. It pours an opaque red with a pink head. Tomato pulp clings to the glass. Is this supposed to be beer? The taste can only be described as carbonated V8 and piss. It is an insult to vegetable juice and beer at the same time. It really tastes as awful as can be imagined. I was curious, but now I’m not. Thank God I didn’t waste $2 for the Bud Light version.
