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 pretty nasty concoction that leaves a lot to be desired. Flavor isn't necessarily weak, but it sure isn't good. I'll pass on this one!

40 oz. bottle Bought this in the Kwik-E Mart downstairs (yeah, I can buy 40s just by walking down the stairs. I really am in the ghetto) and made the mistake of pouring it into a glass. Initial impressions aren't terrible, it's quite thin for a malt, and foams reasonably, although that doesn't last long. The very basic malty flavor - there's really no bitterness worth mentioning, although you do know you are drinking beer - is overpowered by the strange, fishy aroma. There's also a touch of metal in the aftertaste. I'm sure Pabst spends a lot of time getting the batches right on this one. Well... I did stick the rest of the bottle in the freezer, and in a few minutes it'll be ready to finish the job it started. Getting me drunk. And without offending my sense of smell, thankyou.

Terrible beer, one of the worse I ever drank. Taste like a mix of piss and alcohol. Only for teenagers who wants to be drunk.

A classic drain pour. Offensive odour. Pours golden yellow, zero head, flat. High in alcohol content, hopefully to get wasted before noticing the taste.

3rd in a less than stellar after work series. Poor dishwater-like head. Gold colour. Faint but possibly cidery aroma. Cold or not this is an offensive drain pour. One sip is more than enough. What kind of rude chemical concoction is this? If you want it the rest of the can is sitting on my desk.

Best served in an ice cold fluted 40oz bottle. Since any hint of warmth will allow your taste buds to actually taste what you are drinking the entire beer MUST be consumed in a ratio that is inversely proportional to the heat of the drinking establishment.

We’re heading up to the cottage for the August long weekend and my girlfriend decides she’s going to drink animal beer that weekend. So she buys some Kingfisher, Dogfish Head, the turtle Rescousse, Giraf Strong, Black Sheep Ale, Mongoose, Schlitz Red Bull, and Colt 45. I double checked my database and realized that I’ve never had any Colt 45. Since I was going to help her out with some of the strong stuff anyway, I decided to write notes. Light bronze colour. The aroma is slightly cidery, vaguely malty, with some higher alcohols. Drinkable – with touches of malt alongside the expected raunch of cider and fusels. Sweet, with a hot finish. Like most malt liquors, is utterly unpalatable after the first half, when it loses the palate-deadening ice cold sensation.

Terrible. I think it's just terrible when the amount of money i have limits my beer choices to this awful thing. In other words, "it gets you f***ed up for less".
