8MileBU 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. Shut up mate, it’s fucking tremendous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonHMFC Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Yesterday I finally tucked into my first bottle. I really enjoyed it, thought it was really nice. Been so long since I had a can of the "real" stuff that I can't remember how that tasted, but this is definitely better than the current stuff being served up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Had a bottle on Christmas day and another yesterday. Much better than what passes as the normal stuff now but not quite what i was. Ideally, sales will be good enough that they can justify selling the real thing along with the reduced sugar one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I tried the 1901 stuff when it was first released and quite liked it but could've happily done without. But I've got right back into it, and I've now decided it's really good. When are they cancelling it? I need to stock up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Really like the 1901 stuff. It's not the same, but it's as close as. Only one I buy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_K_97 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 They're daft if they don't continue to sell the 1901 stuff as it's quite clearly better than the regular stuff. They definitely chose the wrong option when they halved the sugar levels, if they'd raised the price I don't think people would have minded all that much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 If they continue with the 1901 or just go back to the original classic recipe then I’ll keep buying it with the higher price. Otherwise I’ll finish what I’ve got and go back to other drinks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they felt they had to show us how shite it could be before hitting us with the price hike I see where you're coming from but surely it'd be a bit of a long gamble given that the new, crap recipe has been around for almost 2 years. I just think they didn't realise just how many people would be willing to pay more to get the good stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajwffc Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 For what I have heard (manager at local supermarket) that the production is finished and most supermarkets have had their final deliverys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Sainsburys in Hamilton had about 200 bottles when I was in the other day, I'd imagine most supermarkets would be the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 The new old stuff has landed in darkest Englandshire. Took no chances and cleared the shop out. It's been chilling all day in the fridge and the first bottle has been fucking tanned. It smells like the original stuff, it is quite foamy when it is poured. Taste wise it is not quite the original but it is 99% there and of anything it is sweeter. There is no horrific metal after taste though and in all honesty it was fucking glorious and the other 11 bottles will be lucky to see February. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjc Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 The name of this thread should be changed to Irn Bru anonymous . its like a cross between an addiction clinic and the Silk Road site on the dark web! Just goes to show how addictive sugar is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will go and have a look after work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
