Introduced in 1963 by the Baltimore, Maryland-based National Brewing Company, Colt 45 was named in honor of running back Jerry Hill, who was #45 on the 1963 Baltimore Colts football team. Through high-profile partnerships with actor Billy Dee Williams and comedian Redd Foxx — who both appeared in radio, print, and TV advertisements – Colt 45 established itself as the premier malt liquor beverage by the early 1970s.

Cotteridge 2 tasting. The colt 45 is a proper malt liqueur. Sticky malt but some hop too. It’s OK .Not bad.

Can (bought in Miami). Golden color, steady small white head. Green apple and alcohol in the nose. Light-bodied. Watery palate. Honey sweetness and green apple. Short finish and no bitterness. Meh.

16 oz. can from the bargain bucket at Green’s. Pours a weak, clear yellow, with a big, bubbly, white head. The aroma is relatively unoffensive corn syrup, cereals, and some light saaz hops. Sweet corny flavor, with just the faintest touch of bitterness. Light, but harsh, mineral aftertaste. Light body, slick, a little astringent, and fairly unpleasant. This is a reasonable malt liquor, which means it doesn’t make me want to pour it out immediately. Drinkable, which is about the best compliment I can give it.

Not as good as OE in my opinion and way below Mickeys. Overly sweet and watered down.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pint glass even though it was consumed several times in my younger days straight from the bottle.
The appearance was a light clear yellow color with a fast rising carbonation trying to escape drastically. There wasn’t any head.
The smell was a grainy super sweet corn cereal maltiness with no balance.
The taste was exactly the same as the smell. Sticky super sweet corn adjunct aftertaste. There wasn’t a finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium in body. I find this one to not be sessionable, I’m thinking it’s because it’s due to the unbalanced aroma and taste.
Overall, well, it is a malt liquor, need I say more?

5.6% can from Bargain Booze, Renishaw - Apparently "Any Tom, Jack or Walt, who likes the taste of malt, will love the malt in a Colt 45". I must not like malt - this is wank.
