Budweiser Chelada

I personally think it’s great! I have always been a fan of beer and tomato juice, a little clam to salt it up, why not? It’s like a bloody mary without all the booze. Admittedly, I have only drank it out of a can and hearing how gross it looks in a glass, I’ll stick to straight out of the can. I’m a fan.

absolute worst think ive ever tasted in my entire life. it literally made me vomit and i have a very strong stomach

Very strange on all levels and not very fresh or refreshing in any way...I’d love to have witnessed the pitch for this product.

General66 thought it would be funny to grab a can of this stuff. Quite a few people tried this stuff and no-body liked it, at all! 24 oz. can, poured a pale pink color. A bit hazy with some little red floaties, probably from the tomato juice. Smelled like tomato juice and left-over seafood that’s been sitting in your fridge for just long enough that you probably shouldn’t eat it. Doesn’t smell like beer at all. Tasted just like it smelled. The clam aspect of it was really overpowering for me. Just a hint of Bud in there. The only thing that saved this from getting a 0.5 from me is that it’s interesting.

24 oz can from Albertsons. Pours a murky orange-pink color with a light pink head that immediately disappeared. As the head vanished it left behind a disgusting pond scum floating on the top. The aroma was just plain obnoxious, sort of like rotting garbage, or the smell that comes from a backing-up sink disposal. Only after intense concentration can I discern that these foul odors are just a mixture of clams, and processed, chemical tasting, tomato juice (Bud is not apparent in the aroma--a good thing.) The taste is better than the aroma, twice as good in fact, so I rated it a two instead of a one. In the flavor, the tomato juice is more pronounced and the clams less so. The mouthfeel is fizzy, slick and greasy. The finish is disturbingly long with lingering fish and some pepper. Overall: It is hard to imagine that a brewer dedicated to bland beer-like products would market something this revolting in their first outing into flavor. But, there it is, enjoy.

Watermelon pink and headless. Aroma is tomato and black pepper. Taste is salty, rather spicy bloody mary, with a hit of citric acid. Very little about this product is identifiable as beer. Highly carbonated and lively for what it is, but still just plain wrong.

22 oz can from Kroger. Tried this for novelty value only. Pours pink, purely pink, with a massive head and no retention. Aroma and taste are similar, and as far as describing them.... let’s just say there was a lot of gagging. Definitely not lacking on flavor, but this is one Budweiser should be.

while visiting illini08 in Champaign yesterday, General66 brought over a can of this unusual brew. over the next half-hour there must have been 8 or 9 of us giving this one a try. to see the facial expressions of everyone was really priceless, kind of like the bitter beer face commercials from a couple of years ago.
the beer ( and I use that term very loosely ) poured a hazy reddish gold. aroma was from the Clamato, fishy with some tomato juice. flavor was very un-beer-like. fizzy clams with tomato juice and somewhere lurking in the background was a hint of the Budweiser.
thanks Bobby, nice to meet you and share a laugh.
