If you’re looking for a thick 40, or an ice cold shorty, Colt 45 is the malt liquor that works EVERYTIME!

This reminded me a lot of the canadian 7% examples. Clear gold, small head. Heavy grape and sweet corn aroma. Plenty of cheese oddly enough, more than I care for really. Bitter, earthy hop profile. Easy going finish, touches of citrus in this one at the end.

Very clear yellow color with nice effervescents. Smells like a weird soda pop. Sweet and yeasty and terrible. If you super drunk or poor drink em up Jones.

A weird series of events led to me drinking a 24 oz. can of "Colt 45" tonight. If all goes well, it will never happen again.

Originally rated July 2005. Sampled this one from their 710ml can. Says it is brewed by Silver Creek Brewery in La Crosse, WI. Also written is that this brew is 7% ABV. Pours a golden lager colour with a white foam head. Well carbonated and medium retention. At first, I got a nose filled with yeast, but after breathing, got the malt scent with hints of apples. The taste is a toned down version of Olde English 800. Easier to drink then OE. Corn is found in the aftertaste. Still, my favorite malt liquor is Mongoose.

710 mL can purchased from The Beer Store in Guelph, ON. Brewed by Silver Creek Brewery in La Crosse, WI, USA according to the can. All in all a pretty awful beer. Pours a straw colour with very little head that fades to nothing. Initial aroma is of sewer gas. Taste is pungent corn syrupiness. Very sweet. Not overly carbonated. I regret drinking from a glass, it would have been better to drink from the can to mask the taste. Better cheap beers out there if you want to pretend to be a hobo for the night.

Decent malt beer, this one is good with a bunch of friends. It has a strong bitterness to it and quite enjoyable

710 ml can from the LCBO. pours golden with a white head, lingers and laces. over carbonated. aroma of dusty apple core. decent sweet sugary flavour. the carbonation balances the sweetness. poundable for a malt liquor. un-terrible.
