Budweiser Chelada

Gave this one a shot to keep an open mind...won’t make that mistake again. I tried it while watching Gordon Ramsey toss his cookies on ’Hell’s Kitchen’ and I almost joined him. Smells like tomato paste tastes like...yeesh! Salty and not much else. This could actually be a good combination with a beer big enough to stand up to all the fixins but Bud (or any pale lager) just vanishes. To paraphrase the late Douglas Adams this tastes "almost but not quite completely unlike beer". I could rant all day but I can’t put it any better than Nimrod did below: a catastrophe of a beer.

This is a move to cash in on the michelada (sp) a Mexican beer and clamato drink. In the right place at the right time with the right food and the right mixture, this is a nice mixed drink but in a can and from bud, I’m not so sure. Tasted like tomato juice that was slighly carbonated and I mean slightly. When you add some soy cauce - yes soy - pepper, salsa and lime it can be OK but it is hard to rate this as a beer because it isn’t - it is a badly canned mixed drink. Yuck. It is better than Bud straight though - right?

General66 thought it would be a good idea for us to try this. Poured like V8, smelled like fruit punch, vomit, and V8. The combination of fish, tomato, and there was beer right? was too much to handle. This deserves a rating for the experience of all of us trying this catastrophe. Thanks Bobby.

OH MY LORD. I tried to imagine what this would taste like, but I didn’t think it could have possibly been this bad. Strange reddish pink color, cloudy. Head dissipates rapidly. No lacing other than some gunk that coats the side of the glass. Vile, revolting tomato aroma. The aroma is so rancid I really had to work the courage up to take a single sip. Oh man this stuff is bad. This brings back memories of the first time I had Sam Adams Triple Bock. However, I don’t think my opinion will change in the next 3 years. Worst ever.

Pour: Very Bubbly and carbonated Nose: Yeast, malt, tomato and spice Taste: Tomatoey with hints of malt and yeast. No balance to this beer. Body Thin Finish: Very Bitter Overall: Had better tomato beer than this. Awful, not tasty

I personally think it’s great! I have always been a fan of beer and tomato juice, a little clam to salt it up, why not? It’s like a bloody mary without all the booze. Admittedly, I have only drank it out of a can and hearing how gross it looks in a glass, I’ll stick to straight out of the can. I’m a fan.

absolute worst think ive ever tasted in my entire life. it literally made me vomit and i have a very strong stomach

Very strange on all levels and not very fresh or refreshing in any way...I’d love to have witnessed the pitch for this product.
