Original Scottish Sparkling Soda, Citrus Flavored Carbonated Drink - Sparkling Flavored Soft Drink, 32 Flavor Recipe, 16.9 fl oz Bottles, Pack of 12

Never tasted it before and it shipped really well in the package. Better than expected.

It arrived on time and in one piece

I live in Mexico and I had heard of this soda on the internet after it got banned from a tRump golf club in Scotland simply due to a carpet stain that wouldn't come off. Looking into the soda and how Scots are such huge fans of it, was what inspired me to try it. So, I looked for it the first time I went to Europe, this year (Spain, Germany) but couldn't find it anywhere! Then after I came back I found out it's only sold in the UK, plus in a lone shop in France that specializes in imported goods. So I decided that I was going to have to order it online if I ever wanted to taste it, even if that costs what seems like maybe triple the price. So I did. I ordered the minimum 6 cans, and they arrived crammed into this little cardboard box. One can was kind of beat up, but ok. And all the cans feel pressurized, like they should. I opened one. I was relieved to see it still had gas in it. Then I put it in my mouth... And for me it tasted mostly like bubblegum and berries. It tastes like multiple things all at once, and which things those are varies from person to person. I am going to have fun sharing this with people and watching their reactions, since there is nothing like this here in the Americas.

Very tasty. I wish they had been packed better. The 6 cans were loose in a plastic bag and then in a box. A couple of the cans were dented up from rolling around in the box.

You have to try it. You’ll either like it or not. It has its own flavor. The closest American soda I can compare it to is an orange soda mixed with ginger ale, but not as sweet or strong flavored. I was told in Scotland that it is a good hangover cure. Since I don’t drink alcohol I can’t vouch for that claim.

Going to Scotland next month and in preparation for the trip have heard more and more about Irn-Bru. I read up on the "flavor profile" and found that it seemed to be a somewhat polarizing beverage, at least among non-Scots. The US price was a bit steep for a six-pack but placed the order anyhow. Having been at least somewhat prepared based on what I've found online, the initial taste was not all that appealing. However, I continued drinking and enjoyed it more with each sip. After finishing the first bottle, I was not sure I'd order again or even drink it on the trip. However, I had a second bottle and was hooked. Maybe it's one of those acquired taste things but it did not take long. I'll just be sure not to mix it with whisky and - as someone said - ruin both the Bru and the whisky. I'll enjoy a bit of each but keep them segregated.

Tastes amazing

I follow Kenny Boyle on The 'Tok/Tube; he is a Scottish author and actor who talks about Scotland. He mentioned this stuff saying it is the most popular soft drink in Scotland and I felt I had to try it. Kenny, I'm sorry to say it's pretty meh. It's not bad but it does have a peculiar[?] weird[?] OK, let's settle on indescribable flavor. Again, it's not bad. Unfortunately for me it does contain aspartame, an artificial sweetener along with sugar. For me, the aspartame is an issue as I can taste it long after the drink is done. The drink is lightly carbonated, for me that is not a major factor but again, for me, more carbonation is better. Can I recommend this? I think it should be tried by anyone and everyone for this is a unique drink, so, Yah, do try it. For me, I've tried it and that need has been met, I doubt I'll try it again. [That aspartame is a real deal breaker...] But do give Kenny Boyle a listen/look. He knows the way.

Irn-Bru ist schwer zu beschreiben – irgendwo zwischen Kaugummi, Orangenlimo und metallischem Einhorn. Aber auf eine seltsame Weise funktioniert’s! Eiskalt serviert ist es der perfekte Wachmacher, wenn Kaffee versagt und Wasser zu langweilig ist. Der Geschmack? Einzigartig. Entweder man liebt es oder man fragt sich, ob das noch Getränk oder schon Mutprobe ist. Ich liebe es – und mein Kühlschrank hat jetzt einen festen Irn-Bru-Platz. Fazit: Wer Schottland schmecken will, ohne gleich einen Dudelsack zu kaufen, sollte sich eine Dose gönnen. Kult in der Dose – mutig, süß, orange!

L'amica scozzese di mia figlia l'ha definita "l'unica bibita al gusto acido di batteria". Assurda, ma non male.

Une merveille, toujours inégalée dans l’Hexagone, et si difficile à trouver en grande surfaces... Ce soda, typiquement Glaswegian, et répandu dans toute l’Écosse, est unique, tant par sa couleur orange fluo que par son goût inimitable! La saveur de bonbon est indescriptible, il faut le boire pour le croire!!! Après avoir vécu à Glasgow, je suis devenue "accro", et je peux enfin avoir un peu de mon Écosse adorée chez moi! Toute la famille l'adore! Le pack est arrivé en très bon état, aucun problème. Pour les curieux, ou les fans de la boisson mythique de Barr, allez jeter un œil aux pub pour l'IRN-BRU!!! Extraordinairement décalées, et trop marrantes!!! Tout l'esprit de cette boisson de ouf, initialement produite pour compenser le manque de fer des travailleurs sur les chantiers navals! A L'ATTENTION DES "PURISTES": Sous sa présentation d'Irn-Bru "classique", avec sucre, cette version est "allégée": il y a bien du sucre, mais pas seulement. Il contient aussi des édulcorants de synthèse (aspartame et acésulfame de potassium). Du coup, le goût est un peu différent... Mais je ne me suis pas laissée trompée! Je l'ai vite remarqué. Dommage que je n'ai pas bien regardé les images illustrant le produit, car la composition est en gros plan...

Drinking

its really something else but im pretty sure im allergic so cant have more rip
