Budweiser Chelada

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.

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.

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.

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.
