16oz Can, purchased at Kingstown Liquor Mart - North Kingstown, RI. Celery salt and old tomato aroma, paired with a cooked grape leaves, the lemon juice acid eating into alumninum foil. A distant saline thought of clams. This vaguely tastes like beer. Instead, tomato soda that has sat out too long comes to mind. If someone told me that this was fresh tomato juice that fermented in the back of someone’s refridgerator and then had seltzer added to it, I wouldn’t be surprised. I do think it’s wrong to call this vomitous, it’s just not that bad. It’s actually realtively inoffensive compared to most macro lagers, honestly. Granted, I can’t drink the whole can because the sweetness and fake Lime flavoring sour my gut. I was going to save this for #3000, but need to make some space in the fridge, so here it is.

UPDATED: AUG 28, 2012 24 oz can (is it served any other way). Offensive odor. What a nasty idea, and an even worse in execution. Dirty salty clam juice with bud dregs...the urge to vomit merely lets you know that you are in fact still sane. I tried to imagine how bad this beer would be based on the other reviews I read, but after tasting it, honestly, none I’ve read can do it justice. I can now say I’ve tasted the worst beer in the world (unless the Bud Lite version can de-throne it).

I Love this beverage!!! My absolute favorite!!!!

I honestly have no interest whatsoever in tackling the bottom of the barrel list. However, some sick and twisted part of me suggested sharing this can with Matt and Paul after Matt said he was saving it for "Bad Beer Thursdays." The color is a glowing red / orange, with a head that fades instantly, as if to say "I am getting the f*** out of here!" Aroma: If tomato juice could write the short bus and misbehave the entire time, it would be Budweiser Chelada. I feel like this so called beer would fare well on "Fear Factor". Perhaps this was brewed for the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay and served with every meal. There is absolutely no reason to drink this harsh, vile concoction of your own free will. Mouthfeel = Ow! Please make it stop. Overall: see mouthfeel. Well, I can honestly say I’ve tried it. Never again. Serving type: can Reviewed on: 04-07-2011

I am surprised this is considered a beer and is on here. It was recommended to me by some guy in a middle of nowhere store. I should have taken that into consideration and. It bought it. Are there worse drinks out there? Yes but they all make me vomit. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

24oz can from a gas station in Pomona, CA. Pours a vibrant, full haze neon pink with large pink foam dwindling sort of quickly. Looks very nice. Not going to lie. Nose is spicy tomato juice, weak like spritzer, watered down spaghetti-o’s. It’s not so disgusting... Taste is pretty nasty. Watery and bland with hints of tomato which is more disgusting than just a lot of thick V8 juice which I don’t mind. Pretty gross- not going to lie. Palate is watery and papery. It’s pretty gross but no way I can give this a 0.5.

Pours a pink color that remind one of blood mixed with semen. Very light lacing. Off-putting fishy aroma, accompanied by cilantro and low tide aromas. Heavy flavor, punctuated with more fish and raw oyster. Chunky mouthfeel and syrupy finish.

What an offensive offering to the palate. It smells and tastes like spagettios with skunked beer in it. Yay.

Thanks to Chipalsa for hooking me up with this treat!!! Body was hazy light red color with a white head that fades out. Aroma is tomato/ketchup with some briny lemon aromas and mariscos. Flavor is like a mexican shrimp cocktail....seriously. Tastes just like it but not good. Strange beer.

Original review: 7/14/09. I gotta admit. I have the lowest of expectations for this ’beer.’ I wasn’t even planning on trying it. This beer became the ’stakes’ of a bet between my brother and I. Loser had to consume a 24oz can over the span of an hour. He lost. But feeling sort of bad for him, I told him I’d try a bit to relieve his burden. Here goes... Pours an murky pinkish red with a big 2-finger head on top. This disappears quicker than I can say ’tomato juice.’ It looks like grapefruit juice. Too bad it tastes nothing like that. Smells like celery and vomit. Serious horridness going on here. It’s like a rabbit puked in my glass after an afternoon in my garden. Gross. The mouth is spritzy and bubbly. Thank goodness for that. If this was mellow and flat, I would purge. At least it feels alright. Flavor is of watered-down tomato soup, celery, and the faintest of grains. This is just all-out horrible. I will never, ever again allow this to get into my digestive system...unless I lose the next bet.
