irn bru?

i will be in scotland and have been told IRN BRU is a very good tasting soft drink/soda pop
has anyone had this before?IS there any way to describe the taste?
also,,,,,im guessing Mountain dew will be impossible to find as well as Fanta Grape
which i like both
any word on Dr Pepper?
Thanks in advance

I'm no fan of Irn Bru.  I find it way too sweet, like it is eating the enamel off my teeth.  It is OK ice, ice cold in a pinch.  They sell Dr Pepper at grocery stores, but you would be looking for Mountain Dew and Grape Fanta at an import store, and it won't be cheap.

i will learn to deal without them
THANKS!!
and thats good news about the DR Pepper though
did irn bru taste like mello yello or mountain dew?sundrop?
or was it more like Orange crush?

To me it's more like liquid cotton candy.  Sweet, but not fruity really.  Maybe someone else can describe it better.

eeeeek
sounds horrid

Lots of people love it.  I just can't take it.  Someone else may have a more positive spin on it.  It's worth trying when you get here. 

I agree with Kathleen's assessment of Irn Bru. Bleuch. Might taste ok with a deep fried mars bar 

There are other fizzy drinks here you might like, try Lilt (pineapple & grapefruit) or Vimto (grape & blackcurrant).

or with a hangover.  It's the national cure!

yyyuummy
the vitmo sounds awesome & the lilt sounds like Fanta
can i find both in scotland?

To me Irn Bru tastes like a combo of liquorice and bubble gum.  I sort of like it though, but it has to be really cold.

Yes (I live in Scotland).  Lilt you can get at any supermarket or pretty much anywhere that sells soft drinks. It is a bit like Fanta but nicer! (goes well with tequilla or vodka too!).  Vimto you most often find in cordial form but some shops sells cans of the fizzy variety.

thanks a bunch
I will be in Edinburgh
and will look for both
and the fact that it mixes well with vodka to boot is a PLUS

I love Irn Bru! I always describe it to people as tasting like cotton candy flavored Bubbleyum gum.

Reminds me of creme soda.

I don't know if it still the case but Irn Bru actually outsold coke or pepsi in Scotland.

Quite a feat considering the market share of those two.
