Drink a Chelada
Anheuser Busch has a brand new tasty beverage on the market for the Latino community. Its the Chelada. It’s Budweiser beer mixed with tomato juice and clam juice.
No word as yet if this comes with a barf bag.
Beer Advocate’s users are mixed on the taste.

I have been drinking red beer for years…finally, I can buy it at the store ready to drink! This beer has an excellent taste. I love it!It has a full body taste with an added dash of salt and lime. It has a great after taste. I could drink this all day!
Thank you Anheuser Busch!

Looks almost exactly like a glass of cranberry ginger ale. In retrospect, I much rather would have had a glass of that. Smells strongly of tomato juice, and slightly of clams, which is what I remember Clamato smelling like. Has a strange soda-like fizz to it as well.
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.

Only sampled a very small glass at a neighbors on Thanksgiving. Red and cloudy, like tomato soup with Srpite and milk mixed in.Aroma is like concentrated Long Island Sound. Brine and spice with a distince dead sea creature nuance.
Flavor is so bad I can scarsely describe it. Pain. Fear. Agony. This is what cancer tastes like.
Body is akin to tomato soup mixed with Diet Sprite. Filthy and undrinkable.
