Budweiser Chelada

If you like tomato juice, v8 or clamato, seafood, tomato sauce. or bloody mary’s, this is an inventive beer option for you to try. It’s like beer & dinner all in one, in a beer sense. The balance of clamato to bud is somewhere 50-60 percent, either way. you can taste the clam too. It’s great. Anyway, it’s refreshing & it has that juice pick up to it which is good if you plan on drinking a few and not falling asleep at your bar stool. The acidity doesn’t ever become a factor - the carbonation is not overwhelming. This is a mellow, smooth combo. It is well balanced. Hope Chelada is a hit, so I can pick it up at my nearest beer seller. Cheers!

I don’t rate a lot of the BMC beers I have drank, but I just had to get some notes down on this train wreck. Pours a hazy red from the icy cold 16oz. can. A bubbly pink head forms and fades fast. The nose is bloody mary with some citrus in the background. Watery and distant. On first drink, I think my gag reflex was activated as I nearly spit it out. It tastes like a watered-down, carbonated bloody mary. And I like bloody marys, but the combination of co2, tomato flavoring, corny beer and lemon was sickening. How anyone could ever suffer through a whole can of this is WAAAAY beyond me. This is without a doubt the most disgusting "beer" that I have ever encountered. Stay away.

One of the few Bud products I’ve rated. I just had to try it so I picked it up on the way to a post PP Strong Ale Fest tasting. If you like Clamato or V-8 you’ll like this because thats what it tastes like. It poured a pale pink color and looks like watered down tomato juice. Smells like watered down juice as well. The flavor also had black pepper notes in it.

24oz can brought back from florida by the girlfriend, paired with some taco bell. Pours a murky pink with a nice white head leaves almost instantly. Aroma of tomato and slight hints of beer. Flavor is similar with celery, salt, lime, and clamato. Finishes pretty smooth and thin. Good.

Smells like vomit, looks like a pink soda. Wow, this is like mixing a V8, one of the worst drinks ever, with a Budweiser, also one of the worst drinks ever. The result truly is the worst drink ever. I drank a 1/3 of an ounce, maybe, from a 24 oz. can and I think I’m sick.

This is like warm, salty tomato soup, but worse. Probably the worst tasting thing I have ever tried. The cicadas that I ate a few summers ago tasted better than this. Its no wonder we found it on sale for 25 cents a can. I really thought clamato was an STD.

This beer pours a pink color from a tallboy can. Little to no head apparent. Aroma is clams, tomatoes, some lemon and some corn. A medium bodied beer, well the clam and tomato juice is medium bodied. This is a blend of clamato and BUD…. Nuff said?? Kind of spicy an tomato-ish, it doesn’t seem to have any of those wonderful BUD qualities. IF this was offered to be as a drink at a brunch, and I didn’t know what it was it would be just drinkable. It a little over spiced and somewhat thin in the mouth. Good carbonation. Mouthfeel is a touch thin. Finish is crisp and sharp. Aftertaste is spicy with a touch of bitterness.
