Last time: Picky 100% JAZZ Apple, this time: Coes Crafted Cola.

330ml glass bottle, the same as the Coe’s Cloudy Lemonade earlier in the year. Ordered online; I haven’t seen these in the wild.

My favourite soft drink is Coke, so for a long time I assumed that meant I really liked cola. It turns out that what I like is Coke - and closely Coke-adjacent tastes, like Pepsi Max, which I find tolerable. Most other colas are meh at best.

This isn’t Coke-like at all, but it isn’t the sort of cola I struggle with either: it sits somewhere in between. It actually reminds me a bit of old-school SodaStream cola, which is either nostalgic or damning depending on your point of view.

It’s fine, but not really for me. 4.2/10.
