24oz (710ml) can from a local 7 11 store in Laguna Hills. Drank pre BBQ at my daughters on 31st August 2025. Again I find these Chelada beers strangely interesting, this one being no different, oranges and chile peppers fight each other for dominance with the oranges just about winning in both the aroma and taste. Just wish they did smaller cans! No head on the orange coloured body.

Opalescent golden colour, minimal off-white lacing; aroma of jaffa drink with some grainy-malty and maybe herbal hoppy notes; taste of an orange radler (like a mixture of fanta orange and lager with quite present beer-like notes) with chili peppery spicy aftertaste; refreshing one

20 oz. Can bought from a Chevron. Alarmingly bright orange and cloudy with little head. Smells of fresh oranges, nice if a little bit artificial. Tastes of what fuck is thisness. Some tomatilla, orange, and a fair bit of chili peppers. Long confused finish. Medium carbonation on a dull body. Nmyuh.

Generally speaking I like to drink these on hot days, not mid December evenings! But this was a new appearance at the Wawa and I couldn't pass it up. Smell is much like what others were noting, an orange drink type aroma, somewhere between Sunny D and orange soda. Flavor is orange, light beer, a touch of salt, a savory element, leading into a lightly spicy finish. The salty-citrus-beer thing sort of works - I imagine it would especially work as a lawn mower beer, but I'll just have to imagine that.

24 oz. Aroma has notes of orange and that’s about it. Pours hazy orange golden with a collapsing off white head. Taste is sweet and fairly tart with a mild to moderate spicy chili pepper kick. A tasty chelada concoction.

Tall boy can from Harmons. Pours cloudy orange with a big off-white head that dissipates quickly, spotty lacing. Oranges, citrus peel, mild heat from the peppers. Decent

Smells like orange soda. Clear golden, thin head. Salt initially, then orange and chili. Triscuit finish. Light body, easy carbonation, moderately prickly.

Orange, chile peppers, malt, and straw aroma. Cloudy golden yellow with moderate white head. Very sweet orange, malt, peppers, and light straw flavor. Okay body. Light pepper burn in the finish. Better than a Rita.
