Bud Light Chelada

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

(Can, EBF, courtesy of FatPhil/Anna). Hazy red-pinky color, no head. Tomato sauce, salty aroma. Tomato, salt, nachos, bloody mary flavor. You can use this either as a base for Bloody Mary or dipp your nachos in it.

Can at EBF08. Tomato aroma. Muddy pale red colour. No head. Sweet and salty tomato flavour, a bit of chili. Not as bad as expected, but of course not very beery. I like bloody mary.

500ml can - thanks Anna’s parents! (sorry everyone else!)
Murky pink, no head. Tomato juice aroma. Blobby in the mouth. Hot peppery taste, verging on a pretty OK bloody mary. However, bloody mary ain’t beer. Get the bloody bud out of this, and I’ll enter what’s left on ratechelada.com with a fairly high score. My only ever ’1’ overall. This isn’t beer, it has no justifiable reason to exist. A-B marketeers - kill yourselves.

Can @ EBF, 2008, Carlsberg.

Pours muddy, pale red with no head. Aroma is disgusting, stale tomato juice, light chili and rotten leaves. Thin and sticky. Chili, tomato in flavour. Weird, unbalanced and generally disgusting.

Hazy orange with no head. Sweet vegy aroma with chilli notes. Sweet vegy flavou with spicy finish.

24oz can. Thanks to Immy for this one, I think. Pours cloudy reddish in color with white head and has floats. Aorma tomato. Taste tomato, salt and lime with dry finish. After taste from HELL!!!!!!! This beer sucks ass!!!!!!

24 oz. can. Had this beside the budweiser and it poured a little lighter color. Tasted much, much worse. I second the previous rating of hoping that InBev rids this scourge from the earth.

Oh lord god, I have few words for this beverage that aren’t four letters or can’t be said to a police officer.... For this beer alone I would like to petition ratebeer to let me give a negative score to a beer. Lets make an actual attempt to rate this beer: Aroma: I’ve never been a comedian, so I don’t know what it smells like when the audience thinks you suck and throws 7 week old tomatoes at you...but I imagine it’s about the same smell. Appearance: Pink? My suggestion, buy a can on March 31st and serve it to somebody in a clear glass who like grapefruit juice the next day..... Flavor: Most of us have been there...drank far too much in a row and then it all comes up. The best flavor I can remember from my last experience praying to the porcelain gods was better than one sip of this. (Tomato + Bad + crappy beer) Palate: Spit it into the sink too quickly to evaluate. I tried a few more sips just to see if I could get a palate rating, but sadly I kept being unable to keep it in my mouth for more than 26 seconds. Overall Impression: Now that InBev owns AB, they find whoever is responsible for this beer and ensure they are put into the ultimate dead end job to ensure they never have the opportunity to work for ANY other brewery and create something that resembles this terrorist attack on beer. That being said, I have bought a 24 oz can and put it in my pantry next to my first aid kit because I realized my Ipecac Syrup was past date and forcing this down somebody’s throat will probably have similar results.
