Everyone likes Aussies and it stands to reason they might like Aussie Energy Drinks like Coolah. Australians are some of the nicest people in the world and they bring us so much cool stuff: boomerangs, kangaroos, the outback, the Crocodile Hunter and Crocodile Dundee. OK maybe Crocodile Dundee isn't so cool but Steve Irwin the Croc Hunter is. If I had to guess I'd bet he drinks V Energy or Mother, but there is a chance he drinks Coolah. Coolah is the new energy drink from Australia that's sweeping across the US. It comes in a 16 oz. yellow can featuring a nice boomerang design. It's a little cartoonish for a hard core energy drink reviewer like me, but it's got a clean and bright design that is unique. After all I haven't seen too many yellow cans in my energy drink reviews.
Coolah is a very pale light yellow, like super diluted lemonade, It has a bright lemon flavor with strong sweetness. It's kind of like carbonated lemonade. Coolah has simple yet good flavor with a nice sourness that hits when you lick your lips. For an energy drink there isn't an overwhelming tartness but an easy nice sourness like lemon drops with less intensity than those strong candies. Coolah would be an amazing eneryg drink if it was a little less sweet. I did notice a little slightly disturbing oily film on top similar to the ones I have found on El Popo and Everlast.
The ingredients in the Coolah energy drink are interesting. There's filtered water, HFCS, taurine, caffeine, corn starch, ester gum, B vitamins, and Boronia extract. Corn starch seems a weird ingredient for an energy drink. It didn't provide a great boost but was decent. It'll definitely boost you up more than Mountain Dew. It turns out that Cadbury and 7UP brought this drink from Australia. I'm glad they did because this is a great drink for those who are big lemonade fan this is the energy drink for you, as it beats out the previous lemonade like drinks: Swing Juice and Formula 7 Citrus Charge. Coolah has been a solid drink that I always enjoyed, but it looks like Cadbury Schweppes is phasing it out and throwing their weight behind new drinks including Venom and Squirt Citrus Power.
