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!

Oh yeah bring it on Billy Dee! Wait what I am talking about...this is just as bad as most of the Malts I have been trying of late. cheap corn, some grass, and light alcohol. I was hoping with this one’s history I would find something unique, but unfortunately that did not happen.

40oz Bottle. Cheap crap malt liquor. Watery, and taste like corn. Brings make memories of the old Billy Dee Williams commercials.

Clear golden with big white head. Aroma is sweet and corny with weird phenolics, and taste is the same. Not any worse than one would expect.

Alright, here we go. Pours a solid piss yellow, with a decent white head. Smells like corn, rice, rubbing alcohol and metal. Tastes kind of like licking a lead pipe. There is a bit of a musty/hay sweetness in there too, but clearly this does not compliment the taste of rusting metal in any way. The intense carbonation fortunately distracts from the taste. I’ll give this "beer" a 5 on overall impression because I drank most of it on a park bench, out of a brown paper bag - talk about style points. Finally, if it’s good enough for Lando, it’s certainly good enough for me. Not the worst malt liquor.
