BevNET Review: Coolah, which is Dr Pepper / Seven Up’s only true energy drink entry, features a sweet citrus flavor that is very much in the style of a CSD. In fact, there’s really not much difference – at least in flavor -- between Coolah and similar citrus CSDs, such as Mountain Dew. Still, it’s a refreshing flavor, with our only major complaint being the syrupy coating that it leaves in your mouth. The packaging, on the other hand, seems cluttered and kind of bland, with a silver boomerang cutting through the yellow, silver and white background. The name “Coolah” and the tag “Energy from Down Under” are safe bets in the sense that they don’t offend anyone, but it’s not the type of branding that’s going to get anyone excited either. Realistically, we see this as a product that someone strolling down the CSD aisle might pick up, but otherwise it isn’t going to win over any energy drink consumers. Overall, a mediocre product that tastes good, but doesn’t stand out.

i loved this drink, but after it disappeared, i finally called cadbury schweppes and asked about it. they said they discontinued it. =( so sad; however, i think NOS original flavor is very similar. check it out and see if you agree. =)

Coolah contained Taurine, and caffeine, and B Vitamins, but thankfully, NO gauarana, which rips my guts up and makes me feel sick-jittery. All the other ones contain guarana. And now I can't find Coolah, which was THE BEST ONE EVER! PLEASE RE-START PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION OF COOLAH!

This was my favorite energy drink by far! I think they stopped making it though as I cannot find it anywhere. :(

This is sprite. It has an awful taste! Honestly I gave t a chance because it has double the ammount as RedBull and the same price... but it was horrible. I would never buy it again!

I was not completely impressed with Coolah. Sure, the packaging is nice, but this was an overly-sweetened drink. It really isn't an energy drink, but a lemon soda, which is expected being made by Schwepps. I didn't mind it too much, but the lemon is very powerful, and all the syrup sits in the back of your throat. However, if you are new to energy drinks, and don't like stronger products, you will probably enjoy this. Average. Final Analysis: Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!

This drink didn't taste fantastic. It was light and citrusy, fine. But it was also very bitter and half-way through consumption, I had to keep it cool in the fridge for a few hours until I had the gumption to try it again. Didn't give me any real energy, except for maybe the caffeine. To be perfectly honest I was so disinterested in this product overall, I didn't bother to check it's nutritional facts.
