I am the gracious recipient of this gift from my new friend, Kevin and that’s why this rating is in here. Shit, now I can fit a bomber of something good in the fridge where this one was taking up space! I haven’t had one of these in at least 35 years dude, send me a Piels Real Draft! Actually it was better than I anticipated. Beautiful pour, tall frothy white head over a brilliantly clear, medium yellow body. I don’t suppose I’ve ever seen one of these poured actually, like into a glass I mean?! Initial aroma is of softly scented rose bath soap. This got real nasty as the level went down in the glass and the beer on the sides of the glass where it could warm though. No real flavor good or bad other than a strange soapiness that mirrored the aroma somewhat. Soapy palate. Innocuous alcohol delivery vehicle. Could be a lot worse, good for what it’s supposed to be I suppose. I’ve had far worse in any case. They should send this to Ghana where it would be appreciated.

(Bottle 118 cl) Pilsener golden with a rough, white head. Sweet’n’sour aroma. Medium body with sweetish accents of chicken fodder - a.k.a. brewing syrup and brewing cereals. No real bitterness. Gee, these 40 ounce bottles are real muthafuckers.... 260306

Another pathetic beer that I have forgotten. How could anyone make a beverage that tastes like gutter water. I’d love to be serious about this but the people who made this can’t serious... but they are.

22 oz. bottle (does it come any smaller?) I was at Foremost Liquors after learning they had big bottles of Kasteel on clearance, and saw this on sale for 99¢! How can I lose? And I’m the 300th person to rate it to boot! Well, pours a halfway decent yellow, anyway, with a disappearing head and a constant, slight stream of tiny bubbles (so up for at least looking like it should). Smell, though, is of boiled corn sugar. Taste involves dead yeast and rotten eggs before you can find anything beerlike. Even then it’s mostly adjunct. But then again it’s what you drink this for. A quick buzz totally unencumbered by taste.

Yellow, short lived head, neutral stale beery nose. No nose or taste except the alcohol.

Change serving notes to Serve in 40 oz bottle in brown paper bag - drink while stumbling down the street. If you buy this, you know exactly what you’re getting yourself into. I’ve drank this in my past - it’s done; I’ll rate it for posterity.

Flavor surprised me with a detectable malt presence. If there were an aroma I might have mistaken this for a bock. In the dark. Rerated may 2013. Actually drinkable when cold. Better than Millet Light. From .6 to .8. --- Beer merged from original tick of Colt 45 on 12 Aug 2018 at 19:22 - Score: 0. Original review text: 7/3/2004

What can you get for a buck these days? Well a 24oz of colt 45 double malt. Very corny but not to bad. Not good but it does not hurt going down. Good to get drunk, that’s about it.

We’re heading up to the cottage for the August long weekend and my girlfriend decides she’s going to drink animal beer that weekend. So she buys some Kingfisher, Dogfish Head, the turtle Rescousse, Giraf Strong, Black Sheep Ale, Mongoose, Schlitz Red Bull, and Colt 45. I double checked my database and realized that I’ve never had any Colt 45. Since I was going to help her out with some of the strong stuff anyway, I decided to write notes. Light bronze colour. The aroma is slightly cidery, vaguely malty, with some higher alcohols. Drinkable – with touches of malt alongside the expected raunch of cider and fusels. Sweet, with a hot finish. Like most malt liquors, is utterly unpalatable after the first half, when it loses the palate-deadening ice cold sensation.
