IRN-BRU: Irn-Bru

Last Updated: 8/31/2006 2:17 PM

Product Type: Carbonated Soft Drink: Regular; Container: 16.9 fl oz (500 ml) PET
BevNET Review: Irn-Bru is a very popular European beverage that features a very mild citrus/orange flavor. In addition to having a citrus flavor, this beverage has a mild caffeine flavor. While many US consumers might not understand this product, Irn-Bru maintains a cult like status in the UK (especially in Scotland). Overall, a great beverage.

The Stars Don't Lie!

I've waited over a year to get my hands on this and try it. I brought it to a heritage festival and all the American testers loved the taste too. It's very clean and refreshing, but still makes you feel like a kid. The holy scottish hangover cure!

Got an unlimited supply here in Scotland :)

I'm scottish and live in Scotland so naturally I love Irn Bru. Honestly I don't know a single person who doesn't love it to bits, I think I read somewhere that Scotland is like the only country where Coke isn't the most popular fizzy drink because Irn Bru is :P Yeah the only way to describe the flavour is phenomenal...drink it every day...I think I'll go have some now!

Simply the best!

My mom was born in Glesga and most of my family still lives there or nearby... It used to be that I could only get IRN BRU at Scottish festivals or specialty shops... I always wondered why someone didn't bring it to the USA... I don't even like soda AT ALL by I LOVE IRN BRU... It doesnt really taste orangey to me... I have a hard time describing it to people... to me it's sort of like a tasty carbonated bubble gummy flavor... when I saw that IRN BRU was coming to the USA I thought it was well overdue but a lifelong dream had come true... also the advert with the snowman and the kid flying is MY FAVORITE!

Sweet Nectar of the Gods!

My Mom was a Scot and I spent my childhood summers in Scotland and always looked forward to IRN-BRU. Even now when I visit home, my family have the frige stocked with my favorive beverage. Now every year my best friend has a 12 pack mailed to me on my birthday and for christmas. I'd be in serious trouble if it were available in the US..lol.

Best Bru!

I discovered Irn Bru in Scotland, May 2010. I don't care for orange soda pop but I adore Irn Bru! The saddest part of returning home to the US was the prospect of not having it! So glad to find it on the internet. (Better than Coke. Even Diet Irn Bru is good!)

Irn Bru is the best

I have waited over 10 years for Irn Bru to come to America. It is the best thing I have ever tasted. It is a great hangover cure and so refreshing. It reminds me of home. Both my husband and I have IRN BRU in our number plates on our cars we love it so much. It is the BEST.

It's PHENOMENAL

I had my first Irn Bru at the train staion in Inverness on a cold crisp morning in in April of 1998. It's the best soft drink I've ever had. How can it be that so many years later, I can't buy it in Chicago? What's up with that? If only a phenomenal retailer would be so bold as to stock Irn Bru they would surely be pleased with the resulting exponential growth in sales would undoubtedly occur.

IRN-BRU, oh how I miss you

I am a scot now living in the US and I miss IRN-BRU so much. Mainly after a few drinkies the night before, cured many a hangover for me. I am on my hunt for a supplier that can get me my fix here in Nebraska.
