Commercial Description:
For over 4 decades, Colt 45 Premium Malt Liquor has been the "class of all malt liquor brands". With its smooth and distinct flavor and historic affiliation with Billy Dee Williams, it has become an urban American icon. If you’re looking for a thick 40, or an ice cold shorty, Colt 45 is the malt liquor that works EVERYTIME!

Pours light yellow with a small white head. Very sweet aroma. Flavor is similar, a bit too much malt without the ABV to back it up. A bit too much metal flavor as well. Great carbonation, fits perfectly. Slight aftertaste of metal, but not bad.

Well I liked this more than Old English 800 or St. Ides but my god what was I thinking when I was younger! This stuff tastes like fortified mule piss! At least you can get it down though... as long as you don’t stop chugging.

Bottle- Second in a line of a personal colt tasting. This pours sparkling gold with a short lived fizzy white head. The aroma is grassy and there’s faint malts with some hop type character. Tastes pretty mellow. Some sweet malt, grassy, standard hop profile for this type of lager, which is almost non existant. Pretty watery when compared to the 7%.

Not sure it lives up to the "works every time" slogan, but it could’ve been worse, I suppose. Sweet, yellow, corny, watery. Not very good.

16 oz. can purchased at at Washington State liquor store. Pours a piss-colored yellow. No doubt that Lando was chugging this after they whupped the Empire’s ass in "Return of the Jedi".

40oz bottle white elephant gift. Gee, thanks. Unsightly clear yellowish color with a thin and fizzy white head with little retention. Minimal lacing. Aroma of corn, hay, and grain. Light body with a vegetal character. More corn and other farm-related flavors. The finish is an adjunct-ridden mess of corn and maybe some malt and/or hops. The only thing about Colt 45 I can see working every time is reminding people to appreciate the good beers they can buy instead of this stuff.

Billy Dee Williams must’ve been smoking crack when he recommended this one. Nasty piece of shit beer with stinging adjunct nastiness.
