[Look]: It looks like someone vomit blood in my beer. [Smell]: Aged V8 juice with awful skunkiness. [Taste]: Rotten V8 flavor. Couldn’t drink the rest. [Overall]: This beer makes me sick!!!

This is the very meaning of relaxation. Never before has a drink of any kind satisfied me so. Would take a can of this over a bottle of Westvleteren.

Oh lord god, I have few words for this beverage that aren’t four letters or can’t be said to a police officer.... For this beer alone I would like to petition ratebeer to let me give a negative score to a beer. Lets make an actual attempt to rate this beer: Aroma: I’ve never been a comedian, so I don’t know what it smells like when the audience thinks you suck and throws 7 week old tomatoes at you...but I imagine it’s about the same smell. Appearance: Pink? My suggestion, buy a can on March 31st and serve it to somebody in a clear glass who like grapefruit juice the next day..... Flavor: Most of us have been there...drank far too much in a row and then it all comes up. The best flavor I can remember from my last experience praying to the porcelain gods was better than one sip of this. (Tomato + Bad + crappy beer) Palate: Spit it into the sink too quickly to evaluate. I tried a few more sips just to see if I could get a palate rating, but sadly I kept being unable to keep it in my mouth for more than 26 seconds. Overall Impression: Now that InBev owns AB, they find whoever is responsible for this beer and ensure they are put into the ultimate dead end job to ensure they never have the opportunity to work for ANY other brewery and create something that resembles this terrorist attack on beer. That being said, I have bought a 24 oz can and put it in my pantry next to my first aid kit because I realized my Ipecac Syrup was past date and forcing this down somebody’s throat will probably have similar results.

UPDATED: JAN 7, 2009 Hmm...beer, tomato juice and clam juice. Clam juice? Whoever thought drinking clam juice sounded like a good idea? Seriously, who was it that looked at a clam and thought, "I’d really like to drink whatever fluids I can get out of that thing." Good God, it’s hard to enough to imagine why someone would think a clam was edible. Combine this with beer and tomato juice, and it sounds like something you would drink on a dare at a frat party, or if you lost a bet. Has the look and consistency of fluids seen previously only from ebola victims. My advice is to drink it straight from the can (if you can drink it at all). Pour it in a glass and get a real good look at it, and it’s over. If something that looked and smelled like this came out of any orifice of your body, you would be admitted to Intensive Care on the spot. The genius of Anheuser-Busch is that they actually get people to pay for this stuff. One of those rare instances where the whole is less than the sum of the parts, way less.

To clarify for anyone who has ever posed the question, "what’s the most putrid, undrinkable beverage known to mankind?" here is your answer. If you are a big fan of raging heartburn, down one of these pink abominations and you are in business. Seriously, clam juice? My beer does not need a friend, especially not anything from the sea. Do yourself a favor and remove this from the shelves to avoid contamination of any surrounding beverages.

After having Chelada described to me, was excited to try this one. The taste was terrible and couldn’t imagine any tasting this and deciding to market it.

Always enjoy a nice and tasty Chelada to set my mood on any lazy weekend afternoon.

I’m hooked. I’m a Chicano who’s been making this delicious concoction, hangover remedy and aphrodisiac (but aren’t all beers?) since I can remember. In all my years of making and tasting micheladas or "Red Beers", I honestly feel that Budweiser has made a damn delicious blend. The taste, well, it tastes like Budlight mixed with Clamato with a hint of spiciness. You can drink a few of these and not feel full because of carbonation. It’s still carbonated, but the Clamato reduces the carbonation. The color is USDA Red 40 and anyways who cares, it comes in a can and tastes better straight out of the can. You don’t have to go down to Mexico City to have an authentic michelada, they’re being made right here in the barrio. Budlight Cheladas are just as good if not better. I don’t know if it’s because I’ve never been a good bartender (maybe that’s why I drink beer) or because I’m just not that consistent, but Budlight Cheladas are always consistent which is a plus for me. In conclusion, Budlight Cheladas taste great and are an excellent source of protein. So yes, this is a beer and it’s healthy! !Viva La Chelada!

Pink? PINK beer? My daddy didn’t raise me to drink pink beer. What was I thinking? Tasted more like tomato soda. A-B might want to consider apologizing to the clams...

I actually like tomato/clamato with my beer every once in a while, but this is utterly disgusting. I had 3 large sips and had to throw the rest away. I’ve never been unable to finish a beer due to taste before. The aroma is funky - and the overall taste is just bad. fishy/salty/flat/metallic/rotten egg.
