Mags: This flavour completely exceeded my expectations and would definitely be a welcome addition to the range. Kirsten feared there would be hints of ice-cream floats from summers of her childhood (which would be no bad thing for some people, including her showbiz partner in crime, AKA me) but even she agreed this a nice twist to the traditional Irn Bru taste. Think Irn Bru with a hint of Cream Soda, but in a good way. Zero Sugar drinks brand Irn-Bru Xtrais rolling out two limited edition summer flavours to help retailers maximise the seasonal soft drinks sales peak. It is far from what you’d expect from a can of Irn-Bru and much more like another of A.G. Barr’s fizzy products Cream Soda. Much like the Scottish summer, the new launches will only be available for a limited time this year in a bid to help add sales growth for soft drinks during the season, Barr said. However, it manages to retain the flavour that makes Irn-Bru a stalwart of the soft drinks industry and wider Scottish culture while introducing a pineapple twist which blends surprisingly well.

We told previously how shoppers are going wild for a new Irn-Bru "dupe" inspired by the original recipe. Barr’s exotic efforts to heat up soft drinks sales for this summer Flavours in the sun: Barr is keen to push sales this summer with new launches.

He adds: “We also have an attention-grabbing media plan that will get consumers really excited about these flavours. We’ll be reaching 94% of 16-24s at least 45 times throughout the campaign with outdoorposters, influencer activity and social media content, so we know that they’ll be in even higher demand.” Kirsten: I was expecting a really artificial vanilla flavour but this one actually was quite subtle I was pleasantly surprised. I would drink this one with lots of ice though. I do like sweet things but more fruity sweet than sugary sweet, but this was absolutely fine! Adrian Troy, AG Barr marketing director, said: “The battle was fierce, but our fans have spoken with Tropical and Ice Cream chosen as our limited edition summer flavours.You can’t mention Scotland without mentioning Irn-Bru! Often referred to as the country's "other national drink" (after whisky), Irn-Bru - for the uninitiated - is a sweet, fizzy drink with a vivid orange hue. What does it taste like? Debate rages on across Scotland, from coast to coast! Is it a sort of liquid bubblegum flavour, or is it more like a carbonated caramel? A fruity cola? Nobody can quite decide - and that’s half the fun! Punters will be given the chance to choose between Tropical, Ice Cream, Marshmallow and Candy Floss.
