Red Rock Cola

Every so often you come across a Soda that's been around awhile, changed hands, been reformulated, reborn and is now back in a limited supply. Such is the case with Red Rock Premium Cola. The Red Rock label has been around since 1885 and their Cola has been in existence since 1938. Today there are only a handful of distributors remaining and the Cola syrup formulation is produced by Sensient Technologies in Indianapolis, Indiana. The bottle of Red Rock I obtained came from Clayton Distributors of Atlanta, Georgia.

As Colas go Red Rock is average. Despite the labels assertion that the Cola has "Just The Right Bite", there isn't a lot of bite to Red Rock. It has a light Cola scent and a decent carbonation that adds a small bite. The Cola flavour has a bevy of undertones ranging from a slight spiciness to woody undertones. There is a nice balance between sweetness and flavour with Red Rock, something other drink manufacturers should take note of.

While there isn't a right amount of bite there is a decent flavour augmented by pure Cane Sugar. Red Rock Premium Cola leaves a nice clean aftertaste that is lightly sweet. All in all it is a well done effort that leaves you wanting something more. It's an average Cola, but not a bad one and you won't be disappointed if you buy one.

Ingredients:
