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!

40 Ounce. Nothing noticeable in terms of aroma, and the urine appearance with its soapy head is hardly attractive. Extremely light flavor with absolutely no aftertaste, and a mouthfeel similar to water. Honestly, it's not very good, but it's really not awful. The lack of aftertaste makes it incredibly easy to drink.

Canned. Yellow water. Had no taste or smell. Can't really say anything else. Was drinkable however.

Tastes like Budweiser with sugar added. I had to try one of these but will never drink it again.

It seems like they managed to ferment cardboard, throw in some sugar, and call it a day with this beverage. Perfect for getting smashed, horrible if you want a decent drink. I'd probably prefer Olde English (though that's not saying much.)

Of all the cheap beers I have ever had in my life, this one was the best for its price, reputation, and volume.

actually looks and tastes better then most 40s. I actually prefer this to budweiser. Its a great deal for its price, although only if you enjoy your drink very sweet. But its also strong, so if you chug it, which i did last night, your face goes delightfully numb.

Thanks Billy D. Williams. Considering it's malt liquor and it's 8%, it really isn't that bad. I'll take just about anything in place of it though.

UPDATED: JAN 30, 2005 32oz bottle, clear. Clear golden color, soapy white head. Wet grain aroma with some soapy "bittering hop" notes. Watery-sweet start with an astringent paper bag aftertaste. Not totally offensive, just no positive qualities.
