I had to take a look at old blog posts from Christmas 2025 yesterday. I did so in search of a post in which I wrote about how vile a Christmas-themed Irn Bru flavour was.
Luckily for Barr's, the drink's makers, I actually forgot all about writing a post about Irn Bru Winter Bru which had a spiced ginger and cinnamon flavour. Unluckily for me, I had a few sips before handing the can off to somebody else.
I had flashbacks to that dreadful drink a few days ago, when I found out that there is now an Ice Cream Irn Bru flavour out there in the wilderness.
Undaunted, I had to seek it out..
Voila!
First things first, I have to admit, the label does look brilliant. You'll notice it has a bit of ice cream and a cone/wafer imagery.
To be fair, after writing the last paragraph, I have to applaud the Winter Bru labelling as well. It did give off festive vibes. Ironically, it reminded me of an ugly sweater, which should have been a warning in itself. Anyway, I digress.
I tried the new Irn Bru yesterday during the mini heatwave we're having. It was refreshing. But that's all.
The flavour didn't feel as strong to me as I had anticipated. I didn't sense much 'ice cream' nor 'Irn Bru'. It was just.. a refreshing drink to have in the warm climate.
At least it was better than the Christmas edition.
