Jared’s full review

Introduction

This review is going to be short and sweet, just like the drink itself. I had to look up what Miami Cola is, assuming that I was missing something. But nope! It’s just a shoutout to Bang headquarters being located in Miami, FL. Cool name, though. Makes ya think.

Appearance

I like the green and red color scheme, even if it is the boring old Bang design. I’d like it if they followed in Monster’s footsteps and got crazy with the actual design, based on the theme or name of the drink. Pours out, well… looking like cola. Medium carbonation.

Taste

Like I said, I’m going to keep this concise. The taste is EXACTLY like Pepsi, with a slightly sweeter aftertaste. I looked up the flavor profile, and Bang’s website describes it as a sweet mix of Cola and Cream Soda. Cola, yes. But the Cream Soda doesn’t really come through. I guess that explains the sweeter aftertaste. I like Pepsi, so it’s a 7.5 for me.

Kick

Bang kick, enough said. Aminos, Creatine, and COQ10, with 300mg of caffeine.

Conclusion

I enjoy it, but I can see how the drink could be boring for people who either drink cola frequently, and are looking for different taste in an energy drink, or people who just don’t like the taste of cola in general. Miami Cola is absolutely on the sweeter end of the spectrum, so if you’re not into that then buyer beware.

Appearance

The familiar BANG look now dons throwback Miami colors. Non-traditional shades of red and green combine with a white background to take the consumers back to the 90s. The designers created a successful throwback to the era when sodas were front and center and energy drinks were barely in existence. This is arguably BANG’s best looking can so far, and I rated it accordingly.

Taste

There’s not much to write home about. BANG did a good job recreating the cola flavor. If you enjoy Coke or Pepsi, Miami Cola could be a more stimulating replacement. Miami Cola is not an exact replica, and it may be jarring that the flavor is slightly different from your usual cola. I expected the “Miami” portion to contribute a tropical element to the flavor, but it appears that it is just nominal.

Kick

BANG Miami Cola has 300mg of caffeine. This is equivalent to approximately 3 cups of coffee.

Overall

Do you drink Coke or Pepsi, but require more stimulation? I imagine that BANG had you in mind when creating Miami Cola. The flavor largely captures the classic cola taste that is familiar to so many. The cola flavor is slightly different than Coke or Pepsi, which may throw off the hardcore loyalists. Like all Bang drinks, Miami Cola has 300mg of caffeine. This is not your typical cola and should be consumed accordingly.
