There are many things Scotland has given to the world but perhaps the most iconic is Iron Brew.

The bold colour and unique flavour evoke a sense of national pride that’s otherwise only found when talking about our tap water. It’s timeless, like a pint at the airport.

So, here’s our take on the nation’s favourite soft drink, packed with pride and irony goodness in every sip.

440ml can, at Auntie Sue’s on 27th June 2025, fourth beer in a mini tasting with myself, all pre-positioned by me. Misty orange body, no head. Sour banana, Iron Brew with a tart attitude.

Очередной топовый саут серии айрон брю. Сладость в меру, хорошо пьется, как газировка прям. Топ

Can at home picked up from Vault city online. A light hazed bright orange coloured pour with sticky off white head. Aroma is iron brew, cola cubes, lemon juice, tangy, ginger, Flavour is composed of sharp tangy lemon juice, cola cubes, lemon juice, acid pinch. ginger notes. Pretty good, but weak sauce compared to the high abv version.

Canned 440ml. -from Goblet Zagreb. Hazy orange coloured, medium sized creamy off-white head, perfumed orange bubble gum nose. Sweet and slightly acidic orange bubble gum taste with candy citrusy touch. Heavy carbonation and not so easy to drink.
