5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best sweet colas out there.
I drink a lot of cola, including the classics like Coca Cola, Pepsi and Fentiman's Curiosity Cola. This one tops them easily. I actually find it difficult to drink a single glass of other cola's other than Hartridges now because of how delicious it is. I bought a box of this after reading Doug's positive review below and it totally exceeded my expectations.It's a very sweet cola flavoured with good quality cane sugar, with a perfect viscosity and you can really taste the cola nut extract which is very tasty indeed. It comes in a well presented, authentic brown bottle which almost looks medicinal in nature. The brand itself on the bottle also has a lot of history that I found quite interesting and naturally likeable. The box is also well presented, with the bottles separated by a cardboard divider like it's a fine wine almost. I've since bought another 2 boxes of this stuff and will continue to do so for a long time.If you are a sweet cola fan. I'd advise buying this over Fentiman's Curiosity Cola any day, which is a way more tangy cola that really wasn't my thing at all. This really deserves a higher rating to be honest.
5.0 out of 5 stars Nice taste and a nice buy
I drink a lot of cola but was looking for some bottles to enjoy. I had never heard of Hartridges cola before so decided to give it a try! It was REALLY nice cola with a similar botanical flavour comparable to Fentimans' curiosity cola.I know most people don't care about this but it is actually quite a nice bottle design with a somewhat old fashioned look which i very much like.However it is a little pricy at about £1.20-£1.40 per bottle which is expensive especially for a bulk buy. If you want to splash out and prefer the botanical taste unlike coke or pepsi then i would very much recommend. But if you just want a drink to buy in bulk then just stick with a 20 pack of coke and save some money
5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious
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!
4.0 out of 5 stars Very tasty cola
Bought a package of these. They were the nicest cola I’ve had in a long time. Bottles with an old timey classic look.Opening every bottle made my hands sticky which was a bit annoying but worth it.
1.0 out of 5 stars Sugared caramel water
Im sorry this stuff is probably the least harmful of colas but its like drinking caramel syrup with a bit of fizzy water in it. No zing no taste at all. I’m more of a fentimans fan or the best cola in the world red bull organics cola (discontinued) i like to taste a strong cola that’s refreshing. I’m a cola expert I’ve tried almost all brands this stuff coats your teeth and makes you want to clear your throat after there’s no zing or flavour to it really just like i say sweet caramel water. It’s a no from me. I can’t understand why all the good reviews to be honest
5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome
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.
3.0 out of 5 stars Far too sweet
The cola flavour of this brand was excellent. However, I have marked it down as it is ridiculously sweet. I know it isn’t a ‘diet’ version, but I have sampled other non diet colas and this is far by the sweetest to the extent it was sickly. It’s a shame as it overpowered the cola taste.
5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice
Really nice cola. Very, very sweet though.I can't really say whether this is better than fentimans or not as they have completely different tastes. Fentamans has that botanical gingery classic cola taste and this has more of a subtle flavour more akin to Pepsi and Coca-Cola I guess. Glad I've tried it anyway and will definitely be buying again.
