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.

Can. And I liked it. Pink grapefruit colour. Porous dirty head. Clamato lacing, clamato scent, spicy clamato flavour. For what it is it is pretty good. You don’t taste the beer and probably don’t want to. Any pale lager would work. Higher clamato ratio than the ones I used to pour years ago. Makes me wonder what a great beer would taste like with clamato. Tasty.

This canned junk from a bottle shop poured a large sized head of foamy finely sized white colored bubbles with a pink hue that were mostly diminishing and left behind a hazy softly carbonated orange colored body and thick foamy lacing. The crappy aroma was tomato and clam. The mouth feel was weakly tingly at the start and at the finish. The yuck gag me flavor contained notes of tomatoes and clams. Absolute crap and so horrible you could not give me a million dollars to drink another one!

Tallahassee, Fl. - Circle K convenience store - 24 oz can. Pinkish, Red - Orange fizzy pour with no head. Aroma is that of a Bloody Mary with hints of clam juice - but unlike the Bud Light Chelada - the tomatoes are a bit more rancid. Salty, spicy flavor, some spicy Bloody Mary mix, hint of clam juice as it first hits the tongue. If I had a stick of celery, I could swear this was a Bloody Mary. Thickish mouthfeel. Would be a good morning after pick me-up. Actually liked the Bud Light Chelada a tad better. Would drink this in the morning after an all nighter...

Ok, I tried this after I tried Bud Light Chelada. I suppose this one is for those who drank the light version and thought "Well, I’m lovin’ the tomato and clam and salt and lime, but couldn’t they make it a bit more Budweisery?" Cause, y’know, this is more Budweisery.

More of a "beer" flavor than the light version, but still just awful! I had this at a sampling, luckily, and I couldn’t even gag down the whole little cup they gave me... I poured it out.

Sampled from a person to remain nameless who told me it was a lambic in the glass. Guess what? It’s not! Pour looks like clam juice. Nose of clam, tomato, skunk, funk, junk and spunk. Taste is as you’d expect: Budweiser, clam and tomato with a "hint of lime." It’s a fetid concoction. What you may not expect is the horrid taste lingers in your mouth for hours. Nasty stuff.

I bought this to drink with the Bud Light version to rate but I could not because I was so sickened. The appearance is pink and disgusting. The flavor is like the Bud Light version, meaning it’s disgusting. The palate is chalky and thick. This is bad.

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.

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.
