Notes from August 2009 Is your life just that gentrified that this would be considered a reach for you? Thoroughly reading up on the latest reviews to make sure you're well prepared, the beer has already lost half its charm. Graciously shared during prime time Saturday night at BCTC09. Pours nice & maroon-ish pink into my baby Duvel glass. A little spotty with sediment; no head. Smell is just some casual salt, celery, canned tomato paste, & just a tad fishy. Fine enough. You know what you're getting into. Taste was actually quite short on tomato. Acidic onion & celery, paired less then pleasantly with stale Old Bay seasoning & fish sauce. Barely bitter, the faint grain that you can actually detect from the beer is probably it's worst aspect. An off gazpacho of sorts. Really not all that bad though. Feel is really slick & greasy, though there is some carbonation. Almost like getting served slimy, obviously old seafood. It wasn't the worst thing ever. People exaggerate too much.

Can pours out pinkish red. Nose is tomato juice clam salt brine and some spice. Taste is salty tomatoes clams some spice, at first this was horrible but after a few drinks it know of grew on me.

Kind of clean pink at first, but after swirling the can get redish and thicker like the Clamato, and slightly thinned down by the Bud Light beer. Bubbles are left on the brew, and a film on the glass. Tomato nose with a hint of clam juice - and the Bud that does not really go well, mineralizing things. The taste is better, as the Clamato takes a little over the light beer. I have been a fan of this mix of clam-tomato juice and beer for a while, so I can take this. Not a fan of BL, but better than the regular Bud for mixing, as not as rich of adjuncts. Drinkable, if you are into this mix.

I really like these commercially made cheladas. Never had one made from scratch so can't compare. always worried with Bud light that I might not be able to taste the beer but I can and it's pretty good.

Can, pours a cloudy pinkish red with a small head. Nose is like a V8 with spicy notes. Flavour is appalling - with a sort of clam juice character, light spice, and artificial tomato. Truly terrible.

25 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 8/24/2019. Pours moderately murky/cloudy reddish orange/amber color with a fairly dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation and clinging bubbles on the glass. Aromas of big tomato juice, lime, salt, garlic, onion, celery, chili pepper, peppercorn, and brown sugar; with lighter notes of clams, vinegar, cracker, white bread, and herbal/spice earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of lime, clamato, salt, and light-moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tomato juice, lime, salt, garlic, onion, celery, chili pepper, peppercorn, and brown sugar; with lighter notes of clams, vinegar, cracker, white bread, and herbal/spice earthiness. Mild herbal bitterness and peppery spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of tomato juice, lime, salt, garlic, onion, celery, chili pepper, peppercorn, brown sugar, clams, vinegar, cracker, white bread, and herbal/spice earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of lime, clamato, salt, and light-moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitter/spiciness balance, and no cloying flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitter/spiciness. Medium-high carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, fairly crisp, and lightly sticky/creamy tomato mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.2%. Mildly increasing lingering pepper heat through the glass; pleasant and not overwhelming. Overall this is a delicious fruit/spice/vegetable beer. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of lime, clamato, salt, and light-moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink with the mildly bitter/spicy finish. Far exceeded all expectations, definitely one of the best I've had in this category. Most other cheladas I've had were too heavy on tomato juice/body. This is perfect balance of Bud Light and Clamato flavors; with nice malt presence for the style. A very enjoyable offering, and outstanding style example.

Canette 355ml. Couleur rouge pâle trouble, mousse rosée fuyante. Arôme de jus de tomate, tomate en boîte. Goût de jus de tomate légèrement épicé, Bud Light. Carbonatation moyenne-élevée, corps faible. Beurk.

25 oz. Can from Winco. Going for the bottom of he barrel here. Pinkish pour, small foamy head. Aroma favors the, tomato juice, kind of sour and funky though. Tate mutes the tomatoes, kind of sweet, a bit of the lager, not much. Mostly juicy though.

This stuff is awful...but I was expecting worse. +++ Sampled from a 16 oz can this beer poured a fizzy and murky red-pink color with a large foamy orange head that faded quickly and left no lacing. The aroma was bad marinara, pepper and clam. The flavor was fizzy watered down tomato juice with strong ground pepper and a bit of clam. Regrettably long finish. Light body. Awful.
