Looner Cola

Looner Cola (Cannabis Infused Soda) Review

When I first heard about Looner Cola, I was intrigued by the concept of a cannabis-infused soda that claimed to taste like a classic cola. I decided to give it a try, curious about how well it would balance traditional cola flavors with the hemp extract infusion.

Here’s my take on it:

Taste & Flavor Looner Cola tastes remarkably like traditional cola, which is quite impressive. It has a slightly noticeable aftertaste, likely from the hemp extract, but it's not unpleasant—just different. Despite the high sugar content, the drink is surprisingly balanced and delicious, not overly sweet.

Aroma & Mouthfeel The aroma is subtle, with a hint of caramel, but it's not overpowering. The mouthfeel is clean and light, with just the right amount of carbonation. It's refreshing without being too fizzy.

Calories, Sugar, Ingredients Each can contains 77 calories and 20 grams of sugar, with 2 servings per container. While the ingredient list is mostly clean, it does include phosphoric acid, which some might find less desirable. The total of over 150 calories and 40 grams of sugar per can is quite high, making it more of an occasional treat rather than a daily drink.

Onset The effects kick in around 20 minutes, providing a timely and consistent experience.

Cost & Packaging At $71.99 for a 12-pack, Looner Cola is on the pricier side. However, the packaging is clean and simple, which I appreciate. The front label is informative, but the ingredient and information text on the back is a bit small and hard to read.

Food Pairing A great food pairing for Looner Cola would be classic comfort foods that complement its flavor profile. Think burgers, pizza, or fried chicken. The light carbonation and balanced sweetness of the cola can enhance the savory and rich flavors of these dishes, making it a great companion for a hearty meal​.

Final Verdict I rate Looner Cola an 8.4 out of 10 for its great taste and balanced flavor. However, I personally wouldn't buy it again due to my general avoidance of soda and the high calorie and sugar content. If you're a cola lover, though, you'll likely find this to be a delicious treat.

Overall, Looner has created a delightful and unique cannabis-infused beverage that stands out in the market.
