With Coca-Cola and Pepsi dominating the soda market and creating in essence an iron curtain to prevent other bottling companies to enter into the mainstream, it’s safe to say that a majority of the consumer population has never heard of Boylan Bottling Company. But Boylan, a family owned company founded in 1891, is in many ways the perfect underdog that American’s would love to root for and has the potential to wow the soda consumer market with its gourmet flavors and high quality ingredients delivered within a glass bottle with Boylans’ neat logo, done in ceramic paint, on front.
Boylan currently produces 21 unique blends, all made with sugar cane, including Boylan’s entry into the cola market, Cane Cola. Cane Cola is considered a turn of the century cola due to its toned down sweetness and acidic flavor. Upon first opening the bottle I found just enough carbonation to tell me that it was fresh. On first taste, the soda was smooth without the sharp kick that you expect from the other cola big shots. Cane Cola resembles Pepsi Throw Back in comparison to sweetness and acidic kick but had a short after taste, probably derived from the sugar cane, of a light sugar sweetened water.
Throw in the nicely designed glass bottle and I would prefer this cola over the major two’s anytime. In fact Red Rock Cola is the only cola that I would choose over Boylan’s Cane Cola.
