On one of our camping trips up in Aviemore about 3 years ago, my partner and I found this intriguing looking bottled beverage in the Glenmore shop right next to our campsite. The brand name was Fentimans, one I had never seen or heard of anywhere. What captured our attention most was the name of the drink itself, which is of course, curiosity cola.....curiosity indeed did get the better of us and we decided to buy a couple of bottles to try. ==About Fentimans== The Fentimans brand name has been around since 1905 when a gentleman's agreement took place between Thomas Fentiman and a fellow tradesman looking for a loan which saw the formulation of ...  Read the complete review

Fentimans Traditional Curiosity Cola is a delicious drink and I just can't get enough of it! Fentimans Traditional Curiosity Cola is a syrupy cola that tastes just perfect. You can taste the caramel (more so than Coca-cola, my 2nd favourite cola) and it's got just the right about of fizz in it. It's not really fizzy like Coca-cola or Pepsi, but it's not flat either, as I said, just the right amount. The drink is botanically brewed, so you need to up end the bottle before opening and pouring to mix that sediment in a bit. This cola comes in a 275ml old style clear glass bottle, which is a bit like a beer bottle, with a screw top lid. All of Fentimans ...  Read the complete review

I love Cola. There are many Cola drinks on there market, but sometimes I feel like a change - something different. I came across Curiosity Cola around 5 years ago, as I will go out my way to find different drinks. I was certainly curious! I wanted to try it - however, the price was a bit high... I went for it anyway, and have never looked back! Fentiman's are based in Northumbria and have been making drinks for nearly 100 years. They make other delicious drinks too: Victorian Lemonade Shandy Dandelion and Burdock Manderin and Seville Orange Jigger Tonic Water Rose Lemonade Ginger Beer and ...  Read the complete review

Man oh man! It's like an angel dancing over your tongue wearing Doc Martens and a tutu. You think it's just a sweet , fizzy cola drink, and then BAM! A hint of ginger, a bitter bite at the back of your mouth and you realise this is a robust root-based beverage if ever there was one. It doesn't just fizz: it pops as well. They don't just mix it- they brew it. It's a brewed botanical beverage. You have to up end before drinking else you don't get the full power of the brew. Sure there is sugar in it, but this is the third ingredient listed not the first (Fermented Ginger Root Extract). What next? Catuaba extract and Gurana extract. I don't know what these are, but I ..  Read the complete review

Fentimans have been making botanically brewed soft drinks since 1905 and are a small company based in Newcastle-Upon-Tyme. Curiosity Cola, one of their sodas comes in bottles of 275ml bottles, and contains 0.5% alcohol, which I found quite interesting. As well as this, Curiosity Cola is botanically brewed using an old recipe from yesteryear. If I remember correctly, the first time I came across this product was early last year at college, for some reason they started selling it in the shop - which is strange for such a hard to find product. When I tried it, I was a bit taken aback, and did not recognise it as cola, it is much different from any others, but you can ...  Read the complete review
