Maybe not for you. This cola has a nice taste, albeit not what modern cola drinkers would be accustomed. First I cracked the lid an had a sniff. I few reviews say it smells awful, but it smells okay. It has a faint cola smell and when I tried a dab of pure syrup it tasted good. Not super sweet like modern sodas. Then I made up a 1/2L and added 1tbsp of syrup. Took a taste. Not bad. Second batch put 2tbsp in 1/2L. Just right. Has a bit of a familiar taste I can’t quite put my finger on, like some kind of old time drink or candy I’ve had in the past. Also works well in cocktails.

I opened the bottle and took a sniff expecting it to smell like cola, or at least something sweet. Instead all i got was a nose-full of what I can only describe as pine needle household cleaner smell. I mean strong! It reminded me of PineSol! I tried it in some water thinking maybe it just because of the concentration but nope! The soda water just smells like pine needles and tasted something akin to cough syrup. What the **** were they thinking?

This stuff is just not good... it's almost twice the price of the regular stuff, and I had to use almost half the bottle to male it taste even remotely drinkable, though still not good. Doesn't taste like anything resembling a cola, more like a weird cream soda/ ginger ale maybe.
