An exercise in sensory trickery and nostalgia. A rich traditional malt bill gives you all the caramel sweetness you’d expect from the soft drink, then a natural souring process gives you the tang, that’s then followed by the unmistakable flavour of the Scottish classic.

I’d expect Edinburgh to do a more clear Irn Bru, but this is more clearly reminiscent. Impressive trickery, mildly sour, caramelly

Keg at Mikkeller Brewpub London. Yes, it smells like Irn Bru. Similar colour but less dayglo. Thin white head just forms a ring. Watery Irn Bru with a light sour edge. Hints of the vinous in the finish. Light bodied. Slick. Flat carbonation. Slightly astringent finish. After the promising aroma the beer is a thin in flavour as well as body.

Can at home in Hackney - sourced from Clapton Craft. Pours clear burnished gold with a modest, foamy white head. Interesting stuff, lightly acidic, has some powdery fruity candy notes, mellow tartness, maybe some cherry, grape, a touch artificial. Light bodied with fine average carbonation. Lightly drying finish, a mild herbal note, chalky fruity candies. Novel beer. Decent overall.
