    Hey Pedro 1974,

    Many thanks for your reply! :D I had actually thought of trying the Czech Inn. :oops: I have been there once or twice but that was before I was looking for Kofola! I live in Tallaght and I work in a different part of town so Czech Inn is awkward to get to, but now, I will definately be visiting soon! :)

    I tried 2 East European shops in Tallaght and several others in the City Centre with no luck. Mostly they stock Polish and Lithuanian products. It is strange though, I myself know 3 Czechs in Tallaght alone, so there must be many more who want to buy their own foods! :wink:

    Anyway, thanks again for your help! :D

    Well, I finally tried Kofola. I had it in the Czech Inn, in Dublin. I think they have it on draught, but I could be wrong.

    I have to say I quite liked it. Although I generally like most Cola-ish drinks, even unusual ones like Dr Pepper. :D

    I terms of taste and vis-a-vis Coca Cola....Kofola is more watery, but at the same time its alot sweeter to the point of being slightly bitter. I definately detected a slightly, herby or aniseedy after-taste.

    Overall, I would pre-fer Coca Cola, but, I could definately live on Kofola! :wink:

    Sometimes because it simply is watered by purpose :)

    Do you mean the bar did that on purpose? I thought they only did that to vodka! :D

    Maybe my glass was just a bit flat?

    I may be wrong, but sometimes Kofola on draught seems to taste less Kofola-like... I mean - mixed with water.

    Yeah, I know what you mean. Its the same in some restaurants when Coke of Pepsi are on tap. :)

    When I was on a tram a few days ago I saw a girl with a bottle of Kofola! Maybe I should have asked her where she bought it.....I have looked in several shops and I can never find it! :(

    Well, I found a Slovak shop, near where I saw that girl on the Tram. Very isolated location.

    I bought a 2 litre bottle of Kofola. I still think its not as fizzy, plus on inspection a bitter/sweet almost licorice taste. I liked it but I am still a Coke guy! :)

    The shop also sold a drink made from Grapes??? I might try that next time.

    I took some Kofola back to Canada on my visit to see my parents. My dad took one smell of Kofola, and didn't even try it. :lol: At least my mom took a small sip...

    To be fair, I didn't like Kofola when I first tried it. :)

    no man!
    never copa copa! :wink:
    for me its question of local vs glabal, and I'll always support local.

    kofola, should be drunk without ice, in my opinion, with a lemon slice.

    I went to a restaurant over the weekend that had Kofola on tap - tastes far better that way, but I still wouldn't drink a whole glass of it :)
