I had the most horrible experience this last week. Arizona is a great state and the landscape truly left me inspired! Upon heading into a gas station on a warm 75 degrees on Feb 12th, I immediately headed to the ice cooler to see what regional beers were avail that I don't have the privilege of trying: Miller Lite, Budweiser, Bud Light, Coors, Dos Equis, Corona, Fat Tire Amber Ale, and Clamato. Clamato, what the hell...24 ounce aluminum can of newness! Reading the label: Budweiser and clamato juice with a hint of lime and salt. Jesus Christ this is nuts! Like a poor mans Bloody Mary. This is too crazy and it was like $2 for a whole can. I asked the clerk (female, 25) "So does this stuff actually taste good?" Answer: "Well sorta, if you have been drinking all night and you don't want a hang over, you can drink one of them...Its a Mexican thing, they love it"
10:00 rolled around and wanting to truly taste the Clamato goodness without tainting my palate with any other beers, I poured a nice tall glass of the "cream of tomato soup" colored beer. Tasted like battery acid with a hint of lime and salt. It burned. Not like the im-so-wasted-on-vodka burning, but like the no-don't-mix-those-chemicals-together-they-will-burn-flesh-right-off-your-hands kinda burn. It was terrible, horrible, even a little disorienting. A little like watching the republican candidates debate. Don't ever drink that shit ever. Ever. You have been warned.

Clamato sounds like an STD. Bud Light tastes like one... did you really expect something good to come out of that unholy union?
