About: I remember my first beer...actually, I don't. It was probably something horrible like a Coors light and I'm glad I've forgotten. My experience with beer has come full circle. Originally I gave up on beer because I thought it was all crappy lagers. One day in 2002, I happened upon a little deli called Hollingshead in Anaheim, CA that just happened to have a vast array of "crazy" beers on tap I had never heard of. I dug the look of the STONE IPA handle and tried it. My life has never been the same since. I was in love with hops, grains, and the amazing beauty of what beer can really be.
I love bold flavors and extremes. Belgiums and homebrewing my own beer.See Authors Posts (76) | Filed under: Beer Reviews
Name: Budweiser Chelada
Brewery: Anheuser-Busch, Inc.
Overall Rating: F-
Style: Vegetable Clam Beer
ABV: 5%
IBU: 2
Appearance: V8 and Budweiser. Yuck.
Aroma: Expired V8 with a hint of clam.
Flavor: Revolting. I could only stomach a sip. And that was far too much.
Body: Chunky.
Enjoyability: Zero, ziltch, nada. The only enjoyability comes from the laugh I had when first spotting the can at a Catalina Island grocer. It had to be the worst sounding beer I’ve ever come across. A novality or gag gift at best. If there is a hell, they’ll serve the light version of this as the only beer available. I believe this stuff is popular in Mexico judging by the label. Our brothers to the south should stick to solid food and avoid beverage creation.
Another Take: BeerAdvocate

It makes me sick when I think of chunky, clammy shit tasting beer. I need to hurl.

I’ve come to drink Bud Chelada as my only beer, in spite of the scorn of my beer-oriented friends. Just forget it’s beer and apply a different standard. Ask yourself, “how tasty is this beverage?” rather than asking “how good is this beer?”
It tastes almost wholesome and leaves a spicy tang. I no longer buy Chimay, Rochefort, Rogue, or Avery.
