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!

Strong aroma, taste, and overall impression of alcohol. Not a good beer, but good for a cheap buzz.

I’m considering a law suit. My urine’s still burning. Oddly (or not), it smells much like what I drank.

I saw this on the site and actually have been looking for it. Found at the Oak Creek, Woodman’s. 24 ounce can. Clear light straw color with a tall fluffy white head and some decent lace. First sniff releases an "oh boy" from my lips. The scents do not lead to a wish to imbibe. The best I am coming up with for a descriptor is plastic fruit. Some corn syrup and a bit touch of band-aid. Not a swell scent. I keep looking for some malt and am unable to find any. A little less flavor than the Big Bear I just had, and I’m not certain if that is a good or a bad thing. Light melon and alcohol flavors. Fairly dry in the finish and linger. A hint of vanilla alcohol in the linger. Rather lifeless body, at least it is not sticky and sweet. Once again never wish for something, you might just get it.

From a 24 oz. can. Relatively dark, near copper body. The aroma is sweet corn and grape juice. The taste is fairly sweety and a little fruity with grape Bubblelicious. Not the normal alchol burn that I would expect, but more like eating bran cereal that had grape juice poored on it. A strange tasting malt liquor.

kramer (3376) - Sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA - FEB 23, 2010
40 oz bottle. Consumed as a part of an 18 beer blind Malt Liquor tasting. Pours a clear pale yellow with a small wispy white head. Horrible corn and veggie nose with a touch of light alcohol. Very thin and watery flavor with a lingering sweetness. Some similarities to rocket fuel. Light bodied, thin and fizzy. Not so good at all.

FROTHINGSLOSH (3209) - GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania, USA - MAR 13, 2009
Sampled from a 40 oz clear bottle this beer poured dark golden with a huge soapy white head. The aroma was sweet, tart and tangy. The flavor was sweet, tart, tangy and a bit corny. The finish was long and tart. Much better than I expected but still not great.

How about that, I thought this was 10% or something! I’m not sure what all the talk is about gettin’ buzzed on 24 oz of 6%?!! At 5.6%, it’s almost a session brew. Heheh. Big 24 oz mug from a tall towering bomber blue and white can. First I thought it smelled like cheap strong pale yellow lager but it mellows to a sweeter friendlier aroma in the mug. Certainly tastes like more than 6% , with its volatile fumes in the throat character. Not really bitter but the cheap ML flavor does tend to stick it’s little head up once in a while. You know, like the taste of milder cheap whiskey. Does have some carbonation, a little more than many craft beers. IMHO a weird coarse veggie finish.
