Dosser-fae-the-shire Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Tried the 1901 at the weekend, very nice indeed! However, I'm quite happy to continue with the new Irn-Bru. A shitload less calories and don't feel as bad drinking it. It's obviously not as good as the original but it's still decent.

mathematics Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I'm a diet Irn-Bru drinker, but decided to try that new/old stuff. Seems tasty enough, but is lacking a little "zing" - not sure what it is, just something isn't quite right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I've tanned a fair few bottles, I can't tell if I've over done it and I'm used to the taste or if it's just not quite as good as the not as old stuff. But, I miss a can of ginger, I'm hopeful they might release the 1901 in a can or... Just bring back the other stuff, now that they have seen people will pay the extra. Cans would be good as the transference to glass kills some of the fizz and it feels a bit much to tan a whole bottle every time you want a drink of Bru. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they have cans of the 1901 stuff in Kebab Mahal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Where is this magical place you speak of?I picked up another two bottles today at £2 each from a wee supermarket on Maryhill Road (Best Buys or something like that) in anticipation of a hangover on Sunday morning. They've got crates of the stuff left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been drinking it out of one the Irn Bru glasses they had a few years ago. I've probably just been taken in by the marketing, but I definitely think it's better out of that than an ordinary glass. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Why wouldn't they just bring back the old stuff with an inflated price? Coke does good enough. There's folk paying £1.40 for Fanta. Mental. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurkst Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Tried 1901 for the first time over the past 24 hours. Definitely different from the old stuff. Frothiness is weird. As a hangover curer however it's 10/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I'm still changing my mind on it. I find it hard to believe it has as much sugar as it claims. It's got a similar kind of dryness and strange aftertaste to it that you get in diet drinks. It just doesn't taste of... much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
