That's kind of up to you, I tend to like mine with more juice than others. I drink about a third of a beer then top it off with juice.
Purpose of tomato juice in beer?

I like beer, but not particularly tomato juice. But, I like a red beer more than either one alone. I am gonna try an orange beer one of these days. As some said about tomato beer, it sounds awful, but it might be great. I thought the same about tomato beer.
Ok guys, I just ordered some Tajin to try, it sound really good.
It’s a Mexican thing in NorCal. I don’t usually crave them, but I’ve had good renditions of them at the local craft brewery when my friend was selling tacos there. However, it’s not up to “spec” - you want an Mexican lager, Tomato juice and Taijin. They used a Pilsner that was closer to the Czech definition of the style.
Here it is called a Red Eye!
The regular Tajin (Clasico) is kind of tame - it's mostly lime and salt. I just ordered the Habanero version for a bit more kick.
That is what I ordered and it came yesterday (gotta love prime) and so far I have tried it on radishes, cucumbers, yellow bell pepper and tomatoes. I think it goes the best with the tomatoes. My next it to try it in my Bud light lime with clamato juice.
The Habanero may be to much for me but let me know how much hotter it is than the Clasico.
Based on some of the reviews I've read, it's not super hot. I'm looking forward to trying it.
Every thing I've ever tried that had the word Habanero in it is was waaaaaaay to hot for me, I'm kind of a sissy when it comes to hot sause, Franks Original hot sauce is about as hot as I go.🌶
LOL. My tolerance for spicy food isn't very high either. A single serrano pepper blended with 4 roma tomatoes in salsa is usually enough for me.
My wife picked up some habanero based salt recently. She sprinkles it liberally on her corn. I can only handle it in very small quantities. We'll see about this habanero Tajin.
My recipe may be extreme for some.
Of course, I do have banana peppers, serranos, poblanos, jalapeños, habaneros, ghosts, and reapers growing out back.

The Tamarindo Picante sounds good if there's no clam juice in it. All the stuff listed on the front sounds good, just please no clam juice. I don't like the taste of fish/seafood/water dwelling animals period, so that's my hangup with this style of beer.
Just got it and tried it. It's definitely hotter than Clasico, but nothing crazy. I like it better than Clasico. Goes great on tomato. I also dumped some into the coleslaw I was making. I'm sure it'll be great on corn as well.
Same here. And to add more info. Here you can get a Red Eye or a Pink Eye. A Pink Eye just has a little less Tomato Juice.
So I tried it today, some V8 in my Speights Old Dark - not as bad as I thought, certainly palatable,but not something I'd do on purpose.
Probably improved the taste of PBR.
I hadn't thought about it in years but, I seem to remember a man who used to frequent one of my old watering holes drinking tomato juice with his beer. That was 35 years ago and I don't remember ever seeing anyone else do it. I've been known to chase whiskey with beer years ago but, I don't recommend it.
Love it on watermelon and cantaloupe, peaches and nectarines.
My friend Tony drinks beer with tomato juice. He says it's delicious. I think he's delirious. I don't want fruit in my beer.

Think about this. All vomit tastes bad. I like red beer. It makes any cheap beer drinkable IMO.
