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!

A memorable occasion calls for a memorable beer. This sucka pours pure yellow clarity with light carbonation and a creamy white head. Aromas of grass and minerals with alcohol under corn. Flavor gets better as it warms, starting with sugary corn syrup and a healthy amount of grass, no doubt preparing your palate for a blunt. Mouthfeel is milky smooth to the point where swigging off the 40 is like suckin’ off yo’ mama’s titty. Damn, tha’tz smooth. Spokesperson <a href=http://billydeecolt45.ytmnd.com/>Billy Dee Williams claims, "It works every time." I can’t figure out exactly what it works for... I just know that it does.

This brew is symbolically rated on Easter Sunday as RAYBOY01 and myself rise from the dark cave of drunkneness as Beer GODS. (And I pledged to my homeboy that the last one to go pours a malt likka on the other’s grave.)

Papsoe (21782) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - APR 14, 2006
(Bottle 118 cl) Pilsener golden with a rough, white head. Sweet’n’sour aroma. Medium body with sweetish accents of chicken fodder - a.k.a. brewing syrup and brewing cereals. No real bitterness. Gee, these 40 ounce bottles are real muthafuckers.... 260306

Another pathetic beer that I have forgotten. How could anyone make a beverage that tastes like gutter water. I’d love to be serious about this but the people who made this can’t serious... but they are.

I figure a real review is in order... Colt 45 in it’s Philippine incarnation (the only widely available "import" here, though it is actually brewed under license by San Miguel) is one of the worst beers you will ever have, unless of course you drink the other offerings by San Miguel brewery, then it is about par for the course... I had avoided Colt 45 my entire beer drinking life while growing up in North America because of the reputation for being a horrible cheap way to get drunk... It just seems like pure torture to do it this way, when half decent vodka goes for 20 buck for a half gallon, but I digress....Anyway, back to the beer, the fellows that gave it a 5 do so in jest. This could be one of the worst beers made in North America. In the true spirit of King Cobra, Mickey’s Big Mouth, and Old English, this is a crappy beer targeting the poor communities. Don’t try this beer to see how bad it can be. Have a Budweiser or a Miller High Life to sample a "bad" beer. This is s stretch to even call this "beer", and will make the above two examples seem delicious. Avoid, unless served at 32.5 degrees F at a stupid college frat party. Make sure to have someone dial 9-1 and then keep their finger on the last 1. The smell of this beer will be familiar to anyone in the paint thinner business. The alcohol taste is weird and strong, considering this is only a 6% beer. Avoid at all costs.

keoki182 (305) - West Bend, Wisconsin, USA - MAR 21, 2006
UPDATED: DEC 20, 2006 This malt liquor is horrid. The stuff looks like a concentrated Budweiser with a healthy dose of horse or cow urine. It smells like fermented infection juice. The delicate flavor is that of gasoline and rotting corn. If you’ve ever wondered what a chemical cocktail would taste like 3 months past its born-on date, this stuff is it. Enjoy!

Ok. We’ve hit upon my sweet spot of the "value" brews here. 6% for how many pennies? I’m rating it against it’s peers here and by the by I’d say a 3.0 would be a perfect score for malt liquor. Billy D. says it works everytime and by god I’m with him. Warm summer day down by the river and it’s gonna be a sixer of Colt 45 EVERYTIME.

I assume this one is the 6% offering... have I really sunk to rating malt liquor that my party friends bring over??? What has my life become. This isn’t so much a rating as a note to say that I tried this filth... I find it hard to discern a difference in any of the malt liquors I have been privaledged enough to try.

wxman (889) - O’Fallon, Illinois, USA - JAN 12, 2006
Pours a bright golden with a fair head (at least it doesn’t fizz away). Aroma of wet bread and a sourness. Taste is corn syrup, boiled corn and more corn, along with an aftertaste not unlike aspirin. Not wholely unpleasant, but definitely not very good. Drink ice cold and quickly.
