The Budweiser Chelada: Puke in a Can

chelada-thumb-320x426.jpgFirst off, let me add a disclaimer that I do not like tomato juice. I like ketchup. I like tomato sauce. But I do not like tomato juice. As for clams, I like them, just not in drinkable form.

So when I heard that Budweiser made a beer that combined all that is good with the King of Beers with tomato juice and clam juice, I darn near puked. It’s called the Budweiser Chelada.

Apparently, I am not the only one that feels this way. According to one reviewer at BeerAdvocate.com:

Tastes a lot like someone was going to make a Bloody Mary, but couldn’t find any vodka, so they used Budweiser instead. Then used way too much salt. Then decided to juice assorted sea creatures into the mix. The lime the can claims is in there seems strangely nonexistent. If it did exist, I’m not sure it would help.

I’ve never had the misfortune of drinking a glass of fish blood, but I expect this is what it tastes like.

This is not a beer. This is the worst Bloody Mary ever created. Avoid it like the plague.

Has anyone else tried this? Is it as bad as it sounds?

    The Budweiser Chelada: Puke in a Can!

    I could not agree more! About two months ago I purchased three cans two Bud and one Bud Light, they were only $.50 a can... and I found out why.
  • Where's the list of concept drinks that was left on the cutting room floor the day Chelada was born? The Malt Chocolate: Colt 45 and chocolate milk? And I thought those Canadian ketchup flavored Lays were sacrilege....this takes that idea one horrible step further. How about washing down our ketchup flavored Lays with a cool sixer of Cheladas Saturday night, Noodads? Let's go Pats!!!
