Oogave Cola

Oogave is a line of certified organic, caffeine-free soda made with agave nectar. There seem to be a number of sodas these days using alternative sweeteners. It hails from Denver, Colorado, where it began in a natural food restaurant in 2005. 

It's strange how natural sodas of the cola flavor generally have a much stronger kola nut, cinnamon and nutmeg smell to them. That smell doesn't appear at least in the same way with major brands. The drink itself tastes like a bottle of nutmeg. It's not to say it's bad, but it conjures a winter holiday feeling in my mind. It's like it should be served with gingerbread cookies. It's a decent cola, but be prepared for the difference in flavor due to the use of the agave nectar compared to cane sugar or corn syrup.
