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...

What did you really expect here? This 7% is the same as the others (6 and 8%) just in the middle alcohol wise. sharp pissy and metallic. Not good at all. Still, in the day, I’d pound these. Keep it real!

Can’t go wrong with a 40 ouncer of this stuff! There isn’t much of a cheaper way to go if your objective is to get a little bit tipsy.

Similar to Steel Reserve. Not that great. Really cheap though so if you want to get smashed, drink it.
