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.

like the guy below said, "would never drink for pleasure" - gangster beer that tastes aweful.

40oz bottle white elephant gift. Gee, thanks. Unsightly clear yellowish color with a thin and fizzy white head with little retention. Minimal lacing. Aroma of corn, hay, and grain. Light body with a vegetal character. More corn and other farm-related flavors. The finish is an adjunct-ridden mess of corn and maybe some malt and/or hops. The only thing about Colt 45 I can see working every time is reminding people to appreciate the good beers they can buy instead of this stuff.

Been looking for this for weeks. Hard to find around Sacramento. Now I got my own TWO FOUR. Whoo. Have not had this in decades. Aroma is kind of dusty, has pale malt, and arguably a hint of hop. The color is pale brassy gold, and the white head didn’t hold up well. Thin to medium body with fizzy/creamy carbonation. The flavor is pale malt, and any hop is just a dream. The finish is actually clean, and some hop does build. Probably one of the better macro malt liquors.

Skunky smell and taste. Gold color, no head. The taste of alcohol is prominent, ringed with kiwi fruit. Rather nauseating minty rice is left on the palate. Pretty gross.

Even tho I’ve been drinken beer for a long time, I think this is the first time I’ve tasted this. My curiosity got the best of me while at the Beer Store.$1.99 for a big two-four. Clean with some cream corn in the aroma. Ubiquitous pale yellow american lager color and appearance. Industrial lager medium alcohol finish. On par with many ’iced’ cheap lager beers. Nothing to write home about BLAH HA HA ;~D

Poured out of a huge clear glass jug with twist off metal top with a watery fluid that has a slight gold hue. There is a thin white foam ring that has lasted well over a minute. The aroma is sweet sugary corn flakes and a hint of floral hops. The aroma is too light to pick up anything else. The flavor tastes corn like with a hop bite aided by a big blow of carbonation. This beer is very thin and watery. It does have a hint of floral hop bitterness near the finish. One of the big pluses for me is that this beer doesn’t have overpowering sweetness. If it wasn’t for the heavy corn influence and the paper thin body it may not be all that bad. But then again, watery thin body, and corn is almost all it has anyway.

Works every time.....A liquid ode to Billie Dee Williams. Sampled from a 16 oz can this beer poured a very pale yellow color with a huge soapy off white head. The aroma was tangy, sour and corny. The flavor was sweet, tangy and corny. Not good but very bland.

This smells bad, looks bad, tastes bad and whatever else. It is cheap and drinkable, but only for so long. If you have this beer every day for a few days it is very easy to get fed up with it as I was by the end of this summer.

Pale yellow color with a small frothy white head. Aroma of stale grain and corn. Awful flavor, cheap grain, corn, wet cardboard.

From the can at the tin can tavern in St. Louis. Aroma is a very sweet corn syrup. Flavor is heavy and filling. Lots of chemical aftertaste. It was only a $1.50 o.g.
