Budweiser Chelada

12 oz can into a shaker. It poured a opaque red with a pink fiozzy head. It actually looked delicious, but not beer-delicious, more like carbonated fruit drink delicious - it proved to be very far from both. I drank this shit the morning before yesterday morning: and, though I am going on my memory, I will never forget the flavor of this beer. It smells like puke, nothing else. It tastes very similar; I had to hold my nose to swallow it, and when I did finally open my nose about 10 seconds after swallowing, the finish tasted like I had drank way to many bloody marys and spent the last few hours puking them up. This is honestly the most rancid tasting drink ever. I actually forced down all 16 oz. because I will never drain-pour anything (I told my 3 friends that they were pussies for not complying with this rule). Overall: you have to taste it to believe it, but you will wish you never had. I am glad I finally discovered what this thing actually tasted like though.

I like red beers. This one is pretty good, I think. I like to add lemon chili, tobasco, and some salt. This beer has to be really cold when you drink it. I liked it so much I was drinking it everyday for a couple weeks, but then I got burnt out.

Oh my goodness this stuff is horrible. Quit possible the worst "beer" I’ve ever had. Its like mixing tomato juice with beer then throwing in a crap load of salt. I couldn’t even finish a whole can of this crap. It ends with a disturbing saltyness that gaged me.

Taster, Happy Harry’s, Fargo, USA. Fruit punch colour, sharp tomato/alcohol aroma. Overly carbonated for a beer/clamato mix. Sour and strangely sweet. Not good.

16oz can from Tiger Town in Gardiner. Pours a pinkish-red fairly opaque body with large bubble head that dissipates quickly. Smells like tomato with lime. Tastes like tomato, clam, with hints of lime. Medium in body with low carbonation. Not horrible I guess, but not what I’m looking for out of a beer.

16oz can - Screw it. I’m just going to paste part of my Bud Light Chelada rating. This one isn’t as pink. It didn’t seem quite as salty, but I gave up sooner and drained poured it after 3-4 oz. It smells like tomato paste. It tastes like some sort of sweet, salty tomato, only worse. I can taste some lime in there too and that other odd flavor might be the clam. I don’t know. I’ve never had clamato. I’d never even heard of it before this stuff came out, let alone of mixing it with beer. I guess it’s not something that’s ever caught on in Indiana. If this "beer" is an example of what happens when you mix clamato and beer, I’m really freaking glad it hasn’t caught on much here. It’s awful. They could have at least laid off the salt a little bit. I can’t finish this crap and I’ll finish almost any beer. Then again, calling this beer is a huge stretch. Horrible. 0.7 is being too generous, really.

Can, 24 oz. Pours tomato red with a small, diminishing pink head. Cloudy and heavily particulate. Aroma of tomato and hops. Sweet and salty on the palate, and a very soft carbonation. What you would expect carbonated tomato juice to taste like. Not overly alcoholic. An interesting and different offering. Enjoyed it with shrimp fried ride, which worked out good to enhance the salt and clam flavors.

Can: It has a decent aroma of tomato, lime and onion, and really gets the juices flowing. From there, everything goes horribly, horribly, wrong. It pours an opaque red with a pink head. Tomato pulp clings to the glass. Is this supposed to be beer? The taste can only be described as carbonated V8 and piss. It is an insult to vegetable juice and beer at the same time. It really tastes as awful as can be imagined. I was curious, but now I’m not. Thank God I didn’t waste $2 for the Bud Light version.
