General66 (164), Streator, Illinois, USA Jan 10, 2008 24 ounce can that my Dad bought as a joke. Poured a pale pink color with a small white head that disappeared quickly. Contained a lot of carbonation. It almost looked like a strawberry soda... I actually wish it was. It smelled vulgar with hints of tomato and vegetables. The taste was truly horrible... a mix of tomato, clam, and vegetables. To be fair, I do not like tomatoes or clams so my rating is probably very biased. However, I found this to be a horrible experience. BeermeisterUSA (1), Beertown, New York, USA does not count Jan 7, 2008 If you like tomato juice, v8 or clamato, seafood, tomato sauce. or bloody mary’s, this is an inventive beer option for you to try. It’s like beer & dinner all in one, in a beer sense. The balance of clamato to bud is somewhere 50-60 percent, either way. you can taste the clam too. It’s great. Anyway, it’s refreshing & it has that juice pick up to it which is good if you plan on drinking a few and not falling asleep at your bar stool. The acidity doesn’t ever become a factor - the carbonation is not overwhelming. This is a mellow, smooth combo. It is well balanced. Hope Chelada is a hit, so I can pick it up at my nearest beer seller. Cheers! SpudClampDawg (1027), Jasper, Indiana, USA Jan 6, 2008 I don’t rate a lot of the BMC beers I have drank, but I just had to get some notes down on this train wreck. Pours a hazy red from the icy cold 16oz. can. A bubbly pink head forms and fades fast. The nose is bloody mary with some citrus in the background. Watery and distant. On first drink, I think my gag reflex was activated as I nearly spit it out. It tastes like a watered-down, carbonated bloody mary. And I like bloody marys, but the combination of co2, tomato flavoring, corny beer and lemon was sickening. How anyone could ever suffer through a whole can of this is WAAAAY beyond me. This is without a doubt the most disgusting "beer" that I have ever encountered. Stay away. goldtwins (4078), Nesconset, New York, USA Jan 4, 2008 One of the few Bud products I’ve rated. I just had to try it so I picked it up on the way to a post PP Strong Ale Fest tasting. If you like Clamato or V-8 you’ll like this because thats what it tastes like. It poured a pale pink color and looks like watered down tomato juice. Smells like watered down juice as well. The flavor also had black pepper notes in it. pepsican (883), The Student Ghetto, Iowa, USA Dec 30, 2007 24oz can brought back from florida by the girlfriend, paired with some taco bell. Pours a murky pink with a nice white head leaves almost instantly. Aroma of tomato and slight hints of beer. Flavor is similar with celery, salt, lime, and clamato. Finishes pretty smooth and thin. Good. dwyerpg (2519), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Dec 21, 2007 Smells like vomit, looks like a pink soda. Wow, this is like mixing a V8, one of the worst drinks ever, with a Budweiser, also one of the worst drinks ever. The result truly is the worst drink ever. I drank a 1/3 of an ounce, maybe, from a 24 oz. can and I think I’m sick. vmilaxer29 (144), Virginia, USA Dec 17, 2007 This is like warm, salty tomato soup, but worse. Probably the worst tasting thing I have ever tried. The cicadas that I ate a few summers ago tasted better than this. Its no wonder we found it on sale for 25 cents a can. I really thought clamato was an STD. kp (8400), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Dec 12, 2007 Date: 11/30/2007
