Irn Bru 1901

[The Modfather]

Anyone tried this? Tried it earlier, just tastes like diet Irn Bru, disappointing. Had hoped it was just marketing, talking about a new and undiscovered recipe etc and it would actually be similar to the old recipe. Doubt I’ll even finish my bottle far less but anymore.

You need new taste buds. Its superb stuff and tastes great imo!

:agree: A million miles from Diet Irn Bru, which is potentially the nastiest diet drink available, anywhere.

[The Modfather]

I’ve still got it sitting in the fridge, will need to give it a second try before fully writing it off. Did think it just tasted of that overwhelming chemical flavouring in the likes of Irn Bru Zero rather than closer to the sweet nectar of the original.

[lord bunberry]

I’ve not tried it yet, but I did try the Christmas one which was nice.

[MagicSwirlingShip]

Cured my hangover brilliantly on Sunday morning :thumbsup:

[hfc rd]

I really liked it.

Bought a further two bottles yesterday tucked away for Xmas & New Year.

Where do you get it?

Is it an every supermarket and corner shop sort of thing or is it a bit more niche?

I've not seen it in many supermarkets yet. Most corner shops seem to have it. Avoid the robbing ******* in the Day Today at Niddrie though, RRP £2, he's charging £2.99 a bottle.

Chippy near me trying to cash in as well, £2.80 a bottle...

Co-ops sell them, £2 a pop.

Tesco Express at the top of Princess Street next to the RBS branch / McDonald’s had plenty in stock when I went to pick up a further two bottles on my lunch break yesterday.

Only £2 per glass bottle.

Home Bargains has it in Dundee

Scotmid on Raeburn Place has it. As does Tesco Express on Fountainbridge.

I actually thought it was pretty crap and tasted a bit watery.

I got some last night from Asda Newhaven.

Delighted to say it was everything I hoped it would be, and more.

[Pretty Boy]

It's superior to it's predecessor in the hangover cure stakes.

I had a heavy night last night and tanned a bottle this morning. Feel brand new.

[Jones28]

It’s braw. Steak pie, Irn Bru and whisky at ne’er dey for me 🎉

[Hibernia&Alba]

It's heresy in Scotland, but I'm not keen on Irn Bru.

[Scouse Hibee]

Had a bottle in my hand in Asda yesterday then decided nah I’m not falling for their clever marketing at £2 a bottle and put it back. I’ll just imagine how good it is.

[Smartie]

I'm addicted.

Mrs Smartie was less than impressed at having to fork out £2.99 for a bottle from Pierinos when she was in getting the chips last night.

It better than the current Irn Bru but still not as good as the full sugar previous version imo

[1875Sean]

Does anyone know how long are on sale for? Had some local shops sell it but now all gone, I know it was only for a limited time but not sure if that’s it! Regret not buying a case when I had the chance

Asda at Chesser had tons of it on Saturday.

It has more sugar than the original original version. :greengrin

[RyeSloan]

I have a bottle stashed for the inevitable sore heid following my planned Boxing Day fitba’ sesh at the boozer...Let’s hope it’s restorative abilities have been returned along with the old recipe!

[Cataplana]

What's the chances Coca Cola could sell their original recipe with the cocaine in it? I'd definitely be interested in that.

[heretoday]

All these drinks taste the same to me, especially if they are ice cold which they should be.

[Pretty Boy]

Can anyone confirm when people from Edinburgh started referring to Irn Bru and other fizzy juice as 'ginger'? Heard loads of folk using it recently.

We're not ****ing weedgies. In Edinburgh, it's juice.

Interesting though. At what point on the M8 corridor do they start saying ginger? Harthill? Gartcosh?

Livi prob. Anything west of Calder Road is Weegie.

[Speedy]

I'd agree with anywhere west of Livi. Once you're at Blackburn/Bathgate there's no remnants of Edinburgh.

Tried the Irn Bru 1901 today. I like it. Much better than the new stuff.
