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!

I’m afraid that this version of Colt 45 is "too boozy" for me. I’m a purist when it comes to my malt liquors, what can I say?

Pours a light golden yellow. Aromas of minor hops, corn, grains. Flavor is light, crisp, watery with a little hop and not much else.

Ginormous 1.18L clear bottle, bought as a joke while camping this weekend. Abysmal aroma of alcohol and sweet-rot stench. Sweet corn with a harsh petroleum-esque element and a hot isopropyl alcoholic burn to put the palate to death. Do not leave the bottle near the fire-- it may explode.

This is a classy beer. Drink this before a job interview for confidence and I guarantee the job is yours.

corny, peppery-fuselly, cidery orchard-fruit aroma. alcoholic. cideriness increases with temperature. no perceivable hop aroma. brilliantly clear, golden-yellow, swiftly-disappearing fine white head. flavour dominated by cidery flavours. opens up to a grainy, dms-laden adjunct flavour. insufficient bittering to carry the alcohol. light, dry, slick mouthfeel. gets foul and chemically in the finish - the fusels and the acetylaldehyde create a nasty flavour as it ends. If I were a 14-yr-old on the street, this would be my choice. UPDATE: As it warmed (it’s now the serving temperature for real beer) it ended up getting unbearably fuselly and harsh, which with the acetyl flavours was just thin and vile.

This bad boy was the final in a personal colt tasting I treated myself last week. Thanks to Joe for providing this so that I might come full circle. Pours a deeper orangey gold. Head is short lived and is a clear sign of the adjuncts used. Fruity aroma is unpleasant. Like rancid orange peels. Fuesels are here with creamed corn and stale malts. Oily, orangey nastiness with malty off flavours reminding me of what I would expect paper to taste like. It’s only 1% higher than the 7%, and far more offensive. Thanks Joe, but no thanks!

The 8% was far better, but due to complaints from community groups due to proof and pricing is no longer available in Ontario, only the weakened 7% is. Reminds me of summers when i was in my teens..far less harsh then the 7% taste wise but still not for everyone, and hell 3 of these in 90 mins got my good and buzzed.
