Original Cola

A really good traditional cola. You can taste the sugar and the lack of artificial sweetness and this took me back to drinking cola in the 1980s. This isn't for everyone: if you have only experienced soft drinks in our modern time then this will be be too sweet. This is more syrupy and sweeter than the offerings today. It is lovely on its own with ice, however it comes in perfectly as a mixer (I mix it with black rum).

This beautifully presented cola drink comes in proper, solid glass bottles. The texture and taste bowled me over straight away. I simply cannot fault it in any way. The product is clearly lovingly produced with care and careful attention.I had been a loyal PEPSI ORIGINAL customer for over FORTY YEARS, but I was HORRIFIED recently when they caved in to the ' health fascist ' brigade and started putting vile artificial, chemical SWEETENERS into such an iconic blend. It has utterly DESTROYED the pure, earthy sweet taste - and is sending legions of former fans like myself to seek out alternatives.I stumbled upon Hartridge colas whilst surfing through Amazon, in search of natural blend, un-contaminated by sweeteners, organic tasting sort drinks. Thought I would just take a punt and try out a pack of six.So glad I did.I highly recommend it to all of you. A faultless, scrumptious and refreshing cola, perfect with ice and lemon or just ice-cold neat, from the fridge.I will soon be purchasing some more 😎👍

I've tried quite a few cola brands in my experience, ranging from Fentiman's Curiosity Cola to Jolt Cola and Sprecher's Puma Cola (of course including Coca Cola, Pepsi, Red Bull, and many more popular brand cola soft drinks) and so I feel I'm qualified enough to say the following:This is delicious!The flavour can be compared to Coca Cola's Mexican cola, quite a distinct natural sugar cane taste but with a very very slight botanical aftertaste which I can only compare with Fentiman's cola. In my mind, the best of both worlds; not extreme in either ends of the spectrum.The carbonation levels are balanced, not flat at all but certainly not overwhelming; and the viscosity of the liquid is quite balanced and isn't as syrupy/sticky as Jarritos cola.In my opinion, this drink is a success. It's not the best cola I've ever had, but it's in my top 3 I'd say. I think I'll be returning again and again for this cola.If you're looking for a small brand cola that isn't as strong as Fentiman's cola but has all the points of a premium softdrink, this is absolutely the ideal choice! Loved it, and I'll be putting in another order in a couple of days.

Lovely classic taste soda, can not fault this drink its amazing . But at roughly 2 pound a bottle a little expensive.

The best safe packing I have ever received Totally excellent quality service And the cola is worth ever penny. Roy webster

This item was terrible from every aspect. The taste was terrible, the delivery was terrible, and the whole experience was terrible. I would not buy this product ever again. Taste of the cola nut was too strong as a flavouring. The carbonation was average compared to the king of cokes (Coca Cola)

Had high hopes given other positive reviews, but found this fairly straight forward botanical style cola. Nicely balanced overall, but I do prefer a sweeter cola. The bottles seemed slightly random (different style caps on some of the bottles), which was slightly un-nerving, but whatever, dates were all fine and no ill effects/taste on drinking.My current favourite of these kind of cola's is the Marks and Spencers interesting cola - so if you find that too sweet, this might be good for you, but if you also like that, this might be a bit middle of the road for you.

I was so dismayed when Fentimans decided to put that Stevia crap in their drinks. I wanted a nice Cola for a treat when I'm out working in my workshop.Hartridges Classic Cola hits the spot. It tastes great just like how I remember cola to taste from back in the day, and its got no sweeteners in it. Seriously, why cant soda producers just let the consumer decide. Everything in moderation!
