BevNET Review: This flavor of the Boylan’s Natural line is sweet, sweet, herbal, and sweet. Not that it’s totally unpleasant: they’re clearly throwing their weight behind the idea that cola is a specific flavor, rather than the analog for soda that it has become. Unfortunately, the result is slightly medicinal in taste and color – which might very well be a selling point for some. The question is, will they be able to convince everyone that their purists’ result is what cola should be, rather than what they’ve been exposed to thus far.

I am not a big "cola" fan, but this stuff is in a catagory of its own. It has a pleasant spicy taste that serves the palate well.Try it.Expensive around 1.50$ a bottle.

Did Cola Used to Taste Like This?

I love this stuff. In fact, I love BOTH Boylan's Cane Colas and would rate them equally, although they're quite different from each other. The BevNET editorial is correct in stating that this is a noticeably herbal concoction, however, this is a good thing! I like to think that early soda fountains--the kind that were in drugstores--jerked concoctions like this to order 100+ years ago. And since it's a Boylan's offering, you're assured of excellent ingredients including pure cane sugar for sweetening. I recommend trying it at least once if you're a cola lover. If you like this, a similar (and equally excellent) beverage is Fentimans Curiosity Cola.

Other reviewers have mentioned a strange spice to this drink they can't put their finger on. Well, I don't like it. I would describe it as medicinal, close to Robotussin. I have tasted it in an Italian cola. There is a hint of cinnamon. I am so sorry I had to buy the 4 pack of this drink. One was quite enough. UPDATE: I'm glad I did get the 4 pack, because the "weird" flavor grew on me a bit.
