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!

Pale golden in color with a short lived white foam. The nose is typical for a malt liquor with lots of corn, sweet grain, and alcohol. The taste is similarly unremarkable with the sweetness and alcohol dominating the palate with a slight metal tinge. The beer is light on the tongue with plenty of carbonation. Don’t let this one warm up on you, it only gets (much) worse.

Can. Pours clear yellow with a white head. Light aroma with a little bit of sweetness and a little bit of corn. The flavor is light and rather inoffensive. A little bit of grain and a little bit of corny sweetness. Not awful.

UPDATED: SEP 14, 2011 Bottle. Pours old gold with white head. Nose is skunk, malt, budget grains and snow. Taste is the same. Finishes skunky, but smoother than expected.

CapFlu (3798) - Victoria, British Columbia, CANADA - FEB 13, 2003
UPDATED: APR 19, 2004 (Can) I do not know why I do this too myself? I see that it is in the 2 percentile of the WWB - Wide World of Beers. Yikes, pours a nice big white head and a golden body. Sweet grain and malt aroma. Rather sick flavour of sweet malt. Not highly regarded :(

nick76 (3583) - Tampa, Florida, USA - OCT 27, 2005
The aroma is alcohol and sugar. The appearance is pale and forms no head. The flavor is pure corn syrup and alcohol. The palate is thin. This beer has nothing to offer. Bad stuff.

This leads the way in carbonation. Beyond that, I cant think of much to say. it tastes like a Forty.

dwyerpg (3576) - Las Vegas, Nevada, USA - SEP 21, 2006
Looks terrible, No aroma. A very thin beer, but with no noticeable alcohol in the flavor. Not so bad per this bad style, but much too thin for any enjoyment.

phaleslu (3543) - Saint Louis, Missouri, USA - JUL 13, 2009
40 oz. bottle. Huge white head, heavily carbonated. Skunky, and sure to get the gag reflex going, since it’s supposed to be consumed in large quantities and little time.

Flavor surprised me with a detectable malt presence. If there were an aroma I might have mistaken this for a bock. In the dark.

maniac (3474) - Baltimore, Maryland, USA - JUL 6, 2006
Pale yellow color with a small frothy white head. Aroma of stale grain and corn. Awful flavor, cheap grain, corn, wet cardboard.
