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!

Pretty bad, but could be worse. Very smooth and drinkable taste, but poor flavor. Cheap. Bad smell.

From a TWO FOUR, 24 oz. can with a coded freshness date on the bottom of can, I can hear the funk as the Billy Dee voiceover pushes the product, God, I wish I was that slick, sampled ice cold in a pint glass. Poured a clear pale yellowish golden with a large foamy white head, slowly dissipates into a fine sudsy lacing, pretty typical for a malt liquor. Aromas of sweet cereal grains, sweet corn, a tad musty and fusel alcohol. Good carbonation and a crisp, dry, thinnish, firm and smooth medium-light bodied mouthfeel. The first thing I noticed in the taste was the thin, sweet cereal grains, followed by the boiled sweet corn, a subtle hayish hops, only a soft hop bite towards the end, the alcohol is sweet and fusel, and a dry cereal grainy finish, the alcohol also helps in drying everything out. This takes me back to my late high school, early college days, when we played basketball in the city park, then went down the block to a gas station/convenience store that didn’t card to pick up big cans or 40’s of this, those were good days.

Colt 45 is very nice for a malt liquor. It’s real strong. Light-bodied, clear, golden, and as long as it’s cold it tastes pretty good.

Gold color with small white head. This really wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Flavor was strong and malty, a little sweet.

Work every time.....A liquid ode to Billie Dee Williams. Sampled from a 16 oz can this beer poured a very pale yellow color with a huge soapy off white head. The aroma was tangy, sour and corny. The flavor was sweet, tangy and corny. Not good but very bland.

clear golden fizzy stuff that gets you drunk. Old E is much better.........but hey i didnt pour it out like that Guinness Extra Stout crap. and while im here i might as well give the obligatory Billy Dee shout out.
