hopIQ found 10 beers with the same malty and sweet character as Colt 45. Colt 45 is a classic American malt liquor, first brewed in 1963 in Baltimore. It pours a pale, clear gold under a fine head. The nose is grainy with a distinct corn sweetness and a whisper of alcohol; the palate is soft and lightly sweet, with a full malt body from the higher gravity, a mild cereal note and a very restrained hop bitterness. The finish is warming with a lingering, sweetish malt character, in the tradition of the U.S. malt-liquor category. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
