If you have never seen this before, we hope after today that it stays that way. I invited Chris over to try this beer with me. To say the least having this beer on a leap year day, we hope to only see it that often, let alone just think of it every 4 years. This beer which is made up of Budweiser, Clamato juice, salt, and lime make up “Chelada”. Chelada is short for ‘my cold beer’. Not only will Bud warn you, but we will also: This beer contains shellfish and clams. Ok if you are still reading let’s get down to it. The beer poured up red, not amber red, but red as in a red stop sign. The soapy looking bubbles faded quickly to nothing, and the other bubbles stuck to the sides of the glass. The smell was not pleasant, that of Budweiser beer and tomato juice. The taste was interesting at best. The clam/shellfish taste was not really there (THANK YOU!), but the tomato taste and beer was there. Neither Chris nor I found this to be a good beer. I passed the glass to our father, he suggested adding pepper. No significant changes. If you are worried about the calories from this beer, they do make a Bud Light & Clamato version. We may try that one the next leap year, if it is still around.
