Colt 45 6%

Pabst Brewing Company
Brewed at Miller Brewing Company (MillerCoors)
Style: Malt Liquor
Woodridge, Illinois USA

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.

From the Can at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 2007 Sampled more out of curiousity as I used to chug this stuff in my youth before I had discovered the delights of real beer. Thick white head. Grainy aroma. Clear golden coloured and floral. Crisp and smooth on the palate with a slightly dry malt finish.

Light straw pour. The first thing I noticed about this beer was that it actually formed a substantial white foam head two inches thick. Strong skunky aroma dominated by corn, but a pretty smooth and crisp taste with mild skunkiness. A decent malt liquor that’s not totally disgusting.

Overall Impression: This is pretty crappy, I mean its a malt liquor, you buy it in a 40, how good could it be? Even in that class, this is not one of the better ones...

24 oz can. Pours a pale straw yellow with average head. Aroma is grain, corn. Taste is corn and sugar it had a suprisingly sweet malt taste. It would have been better ice cold. It ’s not the worst malt liquor, and it was better than i thought it was going to be

If you like thick, bready beers, move to europe. Colt 45 for me is the epitome of an easy-to-drink, thirst-quenching and refreshing beer. Ice cold (minimum 20 minutes in the freezer prior to drinking, and served in an iced mug) and at the end of a hot summer’s day, a colt 45 is really a sublime experience. The bubbles tickle the throat as it goes down, and it’s very easy to polish off a 22 in several sips as thirst, and the day’s stresses and troubles, are put to rest for the evening. I honestly have a difficult time understanding those who give this beer such bad reviews. What would they prefer to drink with salted peanuts, pretzels, pizza, or a shishkabob---guinness.....??? Oh, one final note---the fact that colt 45 is a full dollar more per 22 than the competing brands indicates to me that this truly is the king of malt liquors.

This is an okay malt liquor. Stay away from the clear bottles, and stick with the canned versions. Goes well with salad, steak, and potatoes. Good when ice cold.

Drink this if you want to get wasted. It is your premeir malt liquor, very carbonated and watery. You can tell that it’s almost like they add alcohol at the end just for fun.
