Budweiser Chelada

This beer pours a pink color from a tallboy can. Little to no head apparent. Aroma is clams, tomatoes, some lemon and some corn. A medium bodied beer, well the clam and tomato juice is medium bodied. This is a blend of clamato and BUD…. Nuff said?? Kind of spicy an tomato-ish, it doesn’t seem to have any of those wonderful BUD qualities. IF this was offered to be as a drink at a brunch, and I didn’t know what it was it would be just drinkable. It a little over spiced and somewhat thin in the mouth. Good carbonation. Mouthfeel is a touch thin. Finish is crisp and sharp. Aftertaste is spicy with a touch of bitterness.

Este un “Tall Boy”. Wow did this taste like crap. I’m a avid lover of this theme but why would Clamato put their name on this. I guess maybe it only taste good with an Mexican beer? You know, an unexpired bottle of Clamato in a chilled glass mug with some Tecate or some Modelo. Then add a splash of hot sauce(preferably Tapatio), squeze of ketchup, a dash of salt and pepper, and half a lime. Then if you want to get fancy, get a stick of celery and maybe have a couple of crackers near by. For sure to fix a hangover and can even be heated for a few seconds in the microwave if you prefer.

Can: What can you expect! The label reads ’certified color’. The clamato kills any possible trace of beer (if you call budweiser beer).

I guess I was coming at this beer as a fan of bloody mary’s so this rating might be a bit off. I haven’t even bothered to pour it into anything because I don’t see a Budweiser as anything worth wasting glassware on. As a beer I don’t think too highly of it but I love tomato juice and when it is cold enough this is worth drinking after you already have a buzz. This beer has a spicy finish to it and it needs to be sold in 12 ounce cans because 24oz is too much at one time of this stuff.

By the Great God Pan -- This is Nasty Shit!!!!! Perhaps oddly to many of you, I like Clamato, but the "aroma" of this concoction makes it seem as if someone thinned the juice out by peeing into it. It looks horrible, as though someone threw some dirt into a glass of pink lemonade. Way too carbonated, in my opinion, but that’s to be expected from the Bud. The flavor is of watered Clamato and the addition of some lime and salt. Horrendous. It rarely happens to me, but this beverage is both by my rating and physical action a Drain Pour.

This smells like vomit. Looks like vomit. And by God, it tastes like vomit! How anyone could enjoy this is beyond me. If someone made me drink this in the future, I would consider it torture. This almost made me hurl...no kidding. To sum it up in one word....Nasty!

It looks like a fruit lambic, bright pink with carbonation. This does have some complexity but none of the qualities makes a good beer. It smells like V8 and Mexican restaurant. The flavor has tomato, salt, and pepper, but it tastes so bad it is undrinkable.

poured murky tomato red with no head and tiny bubbles occasionally breaking the surface. taste like carbonated non alcoholic bloody mary. leaves a nice vomit after taste for the finish and by nice i mean i couldn’t finish this beer. after trying to make it to the end i just gave in and poured the rest down the drain.
