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!

Can’t believe I haven’t rated this yet. Almost done with my second 40 for the night. Not the worst malt liquor. not over powered by corn like many others, but I prefer Old English.

Can from Asia brewery, 6.5%. Bought in the Philippines. "Enjoy the bold taste of America’s leading strong beer." Golden pour, medium head. Aroma is sugar, corn, grains, alcohol. Flavour is alcholic grains and alcohol. Yuck.

24 oz can purchased somewhere in Mission, Kansas. Poured into my Duvel tasting tulip. Pour is a clear golden with a fizzy two inch white head that falls quickly with soapy residue. Aroma is strong corn, dusty malt, along with some plastic. Taste is sweet malt, pretty harsh corn and a strong plastic wet newspaper type taste to the middle and finish. After taste is similarly dirty, and, frankly gross. Palate is thin, sort so fizzy foamy carbonation and the plastic aftertaste. This has the rare combination of being watery and boozy.

40 oz bottle. This actually not that bad. Tastes ’like beer’. Decent drinking. Goes down easily and is quite fun. Could do worse if you were low on cash.

Well, what can I say, had one of these at the airport once, and all i can remember was how bad it was so this isn’t hard to rate. It’s crap, if the goal is to get your beer goggles on then down some colt 45 and get to work. It’s cheap way to get drunk quick and get your game on, personally this is horrendous, stay away!

Pours golden, smells sweet. Head dissipates more rapidly than the running homeless guy that just stole it. Tastes malty.

This beer is what I had to achieve my first true drunkness. Not a great taste but if you want bang for quanity its the ticket. I would rate this beer highest in taste of the malt liquor family.. St. Ides, OE, and Steel Reserve. Better for a quick drunk not a beer you sit back and enjoy.
