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!

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.

This is not a good beer but there are worst out there. Has a nice golden color and high alcohol. Has good head retention, high carbonation. I just can’t really stomach this though, I prefer higher gravity beers to be a tad sweeter. It was somewhat famous back in the day among celebs mainly due to lack of choice for high alcohol beer I guess.
