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!

Golden with a white head with dry dust grainy aromas wafting off of some sugar background. By the time I get to having as decent smell the head went away. Palate is weird. I’m reading the commercial description... is that a joke?

Transparent gold. Slightly sweet, flowery, malt aroma. Flavour is light, slightly corny with lilting malts. Aftertaste is soapy and a tad dry. Somewhat awful, but I was craving awful, so it hit the spot.

Bottle- Pours sparkling gold with a short lived white fizz. No real lace, or retention. The aroma is feusels and wet paper, with vegetable/pineapple...urgh. Tastes pretty vegetal, there’s some weird malty sweetness and it kinda tastes like creamed corn or some other metallic tinned veggies. There’s a bite in the finish, but It is not really from the hops. Pretty rough.

The lower alcohol version the 7% is inferior taste wise to the 8% version, I loved the 8% but still to this day it takes me awhile to get worked up to drink this version, the intial taste palate is vile sour kind of almost metallic hint. After a few gulps though it’s alot better. Not a good malt liqour but by no means terrible, a middle point at best.

My friend, who was short on money, bought this with getting a cheap drunk on in mind. Well, he probably should’ve stuck to some $2 wine or something. Just an awful taste, an awful beer. Kind of funny though. Hmm, odd that he got what seems to be the rarest of the Colt 45’s...
