When I saw this bottle I had to question if it was really a soda. The picture may be deceiving but this is basically a wine bottle filled with 24oz of cola. It's thick glass, hefty weight, and haughty label immediately give it an air of a decadent soda. I would love to discover a bottle of this in the future to bring to a dinner party instead of wine just to see what people thought. Unfortunately, I doubt I'm ever going to see this particular packaging again as they seem to have shifted to cans and smaller bottles. Q seems primarily focused on the mixer market for upscale cocktails.
The carbonation is average in intensity with fine aeration bubbles similar to what you might see in a champagne glass, while the cola aroma is light. The flavor gives green tea vibes... similar to some of the colas I've had in the past with green tea or a mixture of various herbs. It tastes of a touch of cinnamon and maybe coriander. With further inspection of the label I wasn't too far off. They list cinnamon, cloves, coriander, lemon, lime, orange, and nutmeg in addition to kola nut as ingredients. Noticeably they use organic agave as their sweetener.
