I wish I could give this a negative rating. It tastes like... well, most guys know what I’m about to say...

24oz can bought from Wal-Mart for $1.97. What a rip-off Appearance: dark pinkish red, extremely hazy. Some head but it fizzles away fast like a soda. Aroma: fish and salt with a slight hint of Bud Light. Taste: This may be the worst thing I have ever intentionally put in my mouth. The best way to describe it would be puke in a can. It literally tastes like vomit mixed with ocean water. I could only drink about 6 of the 24oz and had to dump it. It left me feeling queezy. Just THINKING about it makes me nauseous. Ugh. Mouthfeel: ever gone to the ocean and accidentally opened your mouth when a wave crashed on you? It’s kinda of like that, only you did it on purpose. Drinkability: UNDRINKABLE. MAYBE if this came in a bottle and you stuck a lime in the neck like Corona is MIGHT be drinkable, but it’s so terrible I’d bet a lot of cash no one can finish an entire 24oz can of this. This is quite possibly the stupidest idea in the history of consumer goods. Clamato by itself is already a dumb idea (I mean - tomato juice infused with clam broth? WTF?!) To add Bud Light to it plus salt and lime is pure torture. I cannot believe this beer-ish product is still being produced. Who the hell drinks this crap!?

Very similar experience to regular Bud Chelada, but the weaker beer flavor made this less atrocious. Exhibit M that Bud Light is better than regular Budweiser. Horrible looking cloudy pink pour. Salty salsa aroma. Tastes like a chips and salsa smoothie with loads of salt. I feel like I’d develop hypertension if I finished a can. I can only have a few ounces. No beer taste at all, but that’s the last thing this stuff needs.

Can at ChrisO "I’m Trying to see the Stool" pre GBBF2010 tasting. Orange red pink colour. Tomato juice aroma. Some toms, some clams in the flavour. Some Worcstershire sauce. OK and no way as bad as people claimed. I mean it’s not a beer, but as a drink it’s ok. The pale lager is really subsumed by the other stronger flavours.

31st July 2010. ChrisO’s ’Raise The Roof’ tasting.
Okay it’s a Bud Light so should be ripe for a good pasting of a rate right? That’s certainly how I approached it but whaddya know - it’s really not that bad. Hazy pinkish -peach beer. Little suddy head. Tomato spice with a little worcester sauce. Spicy. A bloody mary beer! Unfashionable and much derided - I don’t care - I liked it!

From the Can at Chris O’s pre GBBF tasting, Kensal Rise 31/07/2010 Fishy aroma. Pink oranged coloured and hazy in appearance with a hint of dryness in a spicy chilli finish.

Drank this during the world cup finals when I was hungover. Salty, peppery, some minerality, tomato juice, and pilsner. Lime and butter are present as well. Made me feel better and honestly, it wasn’t that bad... However, it looks like an aborted fetus.

Can. Medium head with medium duration. Color is golden amber. Aroma and taste are rich tomato juice, sugar, caramel and hops. Chili pepper as well. A little watery.
