Handwritten notes: Not sure how to proceed, I've given this half marks on every count. I've read some dumb reviews that actually took this beverage seriously, using the same descriptors as you would for a real beer. It is not quite beer. One review actually said it tasted like blood. Well, yeah, there's clam blood in it, genius. I'm conflicted. I love Clamato juice almost as much as I love beer. I would drink it out of the toilet. In Canada Clamato is huge. If you walk into a grocery store, you know those little aisle descriptors hanging from the ceiling? They say like "cookies. crackers. breakfast cereal". In my town in the supermarket there is one that reads "juice. pickles. Clamato". I was raised to love this shit and we would actually have it at our house growing up on special occasions. Half beer and half Clamato is called a "red eye". It's the best use for a crap beer you couldn't otherwise stomach. Like Budweiser. This is the best Budweiser product I have ever had.
