Bud Light Chelada

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

Pours a strange, murky orange-peach color with a tall, fizzy pink-peach head that fades really quickly to a thin ring sustained by a very high effervescence. Aroma is salty tomato, light sweet clam/shellfish, and a hint of citrus. Finishes with salt, tomato, citric acid and a peppery heat. Palate is medium to heavy bodied with a viscous feel due to the particulates floating around, pureed tomatoes I guess. All in all I did not enjoy this, but I could see how some people might.

16 oz can. Aroma of red beer/bloody mary--tomato juice, veggies. Looks terrible-- no head, no lacing; looks flat. It’s the color of grapefruit juice almost--a little redder actually. Taste is like a really well-made red beer. Tastes of tomato juice and beer, spices. This is really good stuff, I think. I don’t really give a shit what all the beer snobs think. LIvely carbonation, thick texture--maybe a little thinner than the non-light version. Finishes with a nice tomato flavor.

Good carbonation. Perfect balance of sweet sour and taste. For some reason I am addicted to this beer. I drink it every weekend. Right now it is my favorite beer. Light refreshing and can drink a lot of them. I like the salty flavor with hint of lime.

I actually like tomato/clamato with my beer every once in a while, but this is utterly disgusting. I had 3 large sips and had to throw the rest away. I’ve never been unable to finish a beer due to taste before. The aroma is funky - and the overall taste is just bad. fishy/salty/flat/metallic/rotten egg.

What the "F". I had to try it, not sure why. What will they do next, Bud Light Lime???

I’m just a senior in college, but I’m old enough to remember Pepsi Kona. I do like V8, and I like beer. I also like tuna sushi and oreos, but I’ll stick to the frosty filling, thank you.

Drank some of this extremely hung over at my bachelor party when I was forced to wake up to play golf. It got me through the round. It tastes a bit like some bad tomato juice that someone put bad champagne in.

Tried from a 24 oz. can a buddy picked up at a gas station on a road trip. Looks like expired tomato juice- a nasty, foggy reddish color. Smells like cheap tomato juice with a lot of salt, some artificial vegetable spices, and a foul odor that must be whatever else is in clam juice besides salt- almost like the leftover fluid in a defrosted bag of shrimp. The flavor is a tamato juice base, and salty, skunky, and spicy. Nauseating. I could never figure out why anyone would want to mix tomato and clam juice, let alone mix that concoction with beer. I’m curious as to how this is selling. Who buys this other than people satisfying morbid curiosity? I’ve never encountered anyone who takes Clamato, let alone Chelada, seriously. I’m still going to give this an extra point for that "what the hell?" factor.
