Bud Light Chelada

Brewed by Anheuser-Busch InBev
Style: Spice/Herb/Vegetable
St. Louis, Missouri USA

This is one weird beer drinking experience. Red foaming stuff, yet no head. Aroma of hot spicy weird meat or gravy. I have to watch my gag reflex when I swallow. This may be an insult to the word beer. More tomato and less clam, maybe. As far as enjoyability goes, on par with sake but looks prettier. Blah. I must refuse to try the Budweiser version. Simply terrible palate and taste. Almost drinkable if you hold your nose. This was my first ever drain pour after over 1000 beers!

In the past I mixed beer with Clamato, and it came out much better than this product....so I’m not sure what went wrong. The flavor isn’t bad, but it isn’t good either. Also, it tastes too fizzy. Pours a reddish-pink, kind of like ruby red grapefruit juice.

A sip of this beer was all that I needed to rate this a 0.5. The smell of this beer is weird, the appearance is red, the flavor is vomit inducing. But hey, to each their own

I really enjoy drinking Clamato, V-8, and a good spicy Bloody Mary so when I saw this in the store I said "Why not?" Then I tried it and said "That’s why not!" Some things just should not be mixed together. This is a perfect example. The pour from the 24 oz. can was interesting as it begins will pure beer followed by more and more Clamato until you finish with this pink concoction. Wasn’t a fan of the smell, as it smelled like Clamato that had gone bad. The taste was interesting but after a few sips I was content with my experiment and ready to cleanse my palate with a decent beer.

Well... Poured a lovely, grapefruit-juice pink. No, really, it was a nice color, until you think "wait, this is beer." Smells like Clamato (tomato, celery, clams...) and Bud Light (shitty beer, adjuncts, my taste buds dying...). Tastes salty, and like Clamato, with a kick in the finish that screams "YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH SON! BUD LIGHT, BABY!" I’ll admit that Clamato on it’s own, while sounding pretty nasty, isn’t that unappealing to me - I like clams, and I like V8. However, the fizz and off-flavors of Bud Light are not suitable for pairing with... well, hell, I don’t think anyone should be mixing Bud Light with anything. What a mess.

24oz can shared with most of the NY/NJ crew thanks to puzzl for this one. No really thank you now I finally have found a beer worse then Ed’s Cavecreek, didn’t think it was possible. Who the hell greenlighted this project? "Hey boss I have an idea." "What is is valued Anheuser-Busch employee." "Let’s combine our super awesome Bud Light with some equally delicious Clamato." "Brilliant!! Absolutely brilliant valued employee your future here looks very bright." Somehow I don’t think this is what Adolphus Busch had in mind when he founded the evil empire.

24oz can from Maniac, shared with a good 15 people. Wow, what a beer. I was afraid to even put it in my mouth after smelling it. Pure garlic, celery, tomatoes, all that V8 shit, which I find disgusting in its own right. The flavor was so bad I almost vomited. I kid you not. I’ve never actually had another beer this gross, it kind of makes me want to bump up all my other 0.5 ratings to be more fair to those.

Can. Poured light pinkish with fizzy off-white head. The aroma was horrid, with some beery grainy notes coupled with tomato juice and black pepper. I only finished a few ounces of this before drain pouring it, but in those swallows I did detect a very strong black pepper flavor, plus tomato juicy flavor, and that’s why I gave an extra point for flavor and overall, but it was not easy to swallow this. If you like bloody mary’s then you’ll likely find this one passable, but I don’t think it would appeal to anyone else.
