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!

This beer will always be in my heart, since it was the first legal beer I ever consumed. Pours gold, with some white fizz. Smells like creamed corn. Tastes like moldy bread and grass. Doesn’t offend the palate too much, so it’s perfect for binge drinking or chillin’ on the street corner with one’s homies. Ah memories.

24 oz can - Since Billy Dee Williams says this beer works every time, I had to have it for my 1400th rating. Why yes, it sucks, thanks for asking. It smells like a bit of corn and malt. It has a very light flavor that’s mainly the corn and cheap malt. It’s thin, watery, and at least not as horribly offensive as Hurricane. There’s just nothing going on here.

24 ouncer poured into bottle. Surprisingly not as bad I would have thought. Inoffensive in any way. Not good though.

From the infamous 40 ouncer marked 0901B-D51132. Pours yellow with a lot of fizzy, white head. Lively carbonation. Grassy aroma. Watery texture on the mouth. I notice a little malts in the taste but otherwise it is plain and uninteresting. I actually though I had reviewed this one prior to now.

Zbong (38) - Lansing, Michigan, USA - AUG 14, 2008
Golden yellow. Smells like bad malt and barley. Tastes like corn water thats carbonated. Pretty expensive as far as malt liquor goes. I’d prefer St. Ides or Steel Reserve if I’m going down this road.

Straw gold with white head. Aroma is cheap and sweet. Flavor is sweet and corny.

chrissy (122) - Connecticut, USA - JUL 20, 2008
UPDATED: JUL 26, 2008 40oz Bottle. Cheap crap malt liquor. Watery, and taste like corn. Brings back memories of the old Billy Dee Williams commercials.

Clear golden with big white head. Aroma is sweet and corny with weird phenolics, and taste is the same. Not any worse than one would expect.
