Budweiser Chelada

Can. An unclear pink beer with a collapsing pink head. The aroma has notes of lime, tomato juice, and black peber. The flavor is like tomato juice combined with notes of black peber, which burns lightly. The body is thin. Thanks yespr for insisting that we bought this...

Can 71 cl. Murky and opaque pale reddish orange with a small rough white head that dissipates in no time. Aroma of salt and tomato. Light body, spicy, burning chili notes, tomato and salt. The chili grows hotter in the finish. Ticker food for me - absolutely nothing else. 060709

24 fl oz can. Pours carrot orange with an orange head - once the head collapses more brown dense coloured areas appear :( Faul tomato aroma, spiced. Tomato and foul flavour. YIEK, I’m about to vomit.

Can... It’s basically a Red Eye made with Clamato instead of straight tomato juice. I like to drink Red Eyes when I tailgate and cheap pale lager is all that’s available. I would have scored this one higher if it didn’t have the shelfish juice and other spices in there. I like my Red Eye with straight-up tomato juice.

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.

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.

Things like this remind me of the ingenuity of the Japanese people. The convenience and novelty of the idea is brilliant. Unfortunately, being a big American company, the delivery is a bit missing. Clamato? Why not V8? Are we Canadian? I like gin and tonic in a can, I like whiskey and water in a can. I don’t like crappy rice beer with clamato in a can. I do love an occasional red beer, but these two gems joined at the hip are not either of the ingredients I use.
