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!

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.

This beer, along with Old English is another beer you score when you’re broke and you just need a beer. theres nothing good about the taste its all about the quantity.

Well I must say that this malt liquor isn’t the worst. Matter of fact its not to bad for a malt liquor, but as a beer taste horrible still. I usually can only find this avaliable in 40oz’s. Has that awkward sweet taste with a nasty aftertaste. Every time I see this beer I get that afroman song stuck in my head. "I drank a colt 45 and two zig-zags......"

The correct answer is no, I will not touch this, this is cheap tasting and cheap altogether. Enough said

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.

Had this once and I can say it was once too much. Awful! Got sick and never had this again. It is cheap but there are cheap enough beers to get so you can stay clear of this one."

I can only assume that the 40 I bought is of the 6% variety, considering that it matches the photo and seems to be the most common. Jeez, who knew Malt liquor was so diverse? Typical ghetto-juice here. Not nearly as bad as Steel Reserve or Olde English 800, but not as drinkable as King Cobra or Country Club. Somewhere in the middle. 8 ounces into this, and I’m already feeling buzzed. And I’ve only drank 20 cents worth; The beauty of ghetto-juice.

poured from a really catchy named "double duece" 22 oz. bottle (what the heck does ’double duece’ mean? huh? oh. never mind). light golden colored, medium white head. palate is medium bodied with a cloying sweetness. probably pretty good with pancakes.
