Loading ...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.

a mexican friend of mine who loves this and has been drinking it for years suggested i try it. at first, i was turned off by the thought but since i love bloody marys i gave it a try. i love it! give it a try if you have balls.
Hey Lewis,
You know, I will try this if I can ever find it. And how does this compare to making this drink yourself? Is it better canned by Budweiser?
i know it is here in NYC but not sure where you live or when it will be there. i actually like to add a little extra tabasco to my chelada to make it even spicier. great option when you dont have all the separate elements to mix at home. let me know what you think when you try.
This is nothing new here in Canada (Heck we invented Clamato Juice, which is Clam broth with a very few tiny bits of clam in it with a thick tomato juice). My Grandparents drank it when they were teenagers.
I know the Clamato sounds disgusting but it tastes more like a tomato clam chowder, only cold and spiced to have a slight zip to it.
If you are going to try this on your own may I suggest getting the Clamato Juice flavour (yes it comes in flavours) called “The Works” or “Bartenders’ Blend” as it is already pre spiced for drinks and if you like pepper add a dash, stir, and let it sit for a minute.
two other things to remember. Some people like it at room temperature and some like it chilled, so you might want to try it both ways. Also you should shake thuroughly until all of the sediment at the bottom of the container is well mixed in as it has some of the spices in it.
If you don’t like it straight you should look up how to make a Bloody Ceasar, one of Canada’s most popular cocktails.
Enjoy
