Budweiser Chelada

CanPoures a murky dark pink. Looks smells and tastes like tomato juice with a few dashes of pepper, cut with water, that has been run through an old box of cornflakes, or rather, budweiser.....hey wait...

Can. Head is initially small, fizzy/frothy, light pink, fully diminishing. Body is murky medium pinkish-amber. Aroma is lightly malty (grain), with notes of tomato juice and other vegetables, DMS, metal, lime. Flavor is moderately sweet, moderately acidic. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately acidic, lightly bitter, unclean. Light to medium body, watery texture, fizzy carbonation. Maybe a hint of citrus in the nose, which I couldn’t find in the Bud Light version, but this is almost identical otherwise. I didn’t realize vomit was available in cans.

Maybe its a texas thing, but I loved it. Reminds me of a red draw. My favorite drink.

Looks a bit like a fizzy fruit punch. Tall pink head disipates quickly to a flat looking watered tomato juice with some pulp left on the side. Both this and the light look the same. Tomato and celery aromas. Bloody mary flavors with a little red pepper nip. No real beer qualities. If you want a bloody on the cheap perhaps this is your savior. Otherwise this in no real brew.

This is NOT the best of both worlds. I cannot believe I actually tried this. At least it was free. I suppose if one absolutely has to have a weak, adjunct-laden beer mixed with clam and tomato juices, it’ll do. Just plain gross.

Tastes more like Mr & Mrs T Bloody Mary, the spicy version. Can’t remember when I last had Clamato juice. The Lime is nearly non existant flavor wise (did taste it a little in a belch, not to be gross) but cancels out the beer flavor. Surprisingly good flavor, in the Bud Light version! You have to like spicy tomato flavors tho’. I don’t think a Samuel Adams drinker would enjoy this, but for a lager drinker, like me, it hits the spot sometimes. Like Miller’s Chill. Not sure how it would be on a hot summer day tho’...

First off, this is not a Michelada style beer cocktail, so the name is misleading. Opaque red milky body, like tomato soup. The aroma was tomatoes and cheap frozen pizza after it’s cooked. The taste is light Clamato with some salt. I could hardly taste the beer behind the juice. I guess this would be ok if you added a pickle, hot sauce, and worchesteshire sauce making it more like a real Bloody Mary. I have known folks that dig red beer and would most likely enjoy this one.

Is tomato a fruit or a vegetable? Yeah? Then what is clam? Spice?...This is one weird beer drinking experience. Red foaming stuff, yet no head. Aroma of hot spicy weird meat or gravy. I have to watch my gag reflex when I swallow. This may be an insult to the word brew. More tomato and less clam, maybe. As far as enjoyablility goes, on par with sake but looks prettier. Blah. I must refuse to finish drinking this stuff. Simply terrible palate and taste. Almost drinkable if you hold your nose. I prefer an IPA or an imperial stout! This was my first ever drain pour.
