Advantages: Lovely taste, no aspartame

Disadvantages: Very sugary

What an amazing drink. Its kind of like drinking sugary water, but with some other ingredients added. Actually, thats all it is, but it tastes so good!
I cant imagine it being terribly good for you though, seeing as it has 29% of your GDA of sugar in 250ml. Seeing as you can buy it in 500ml bottles this is especially bad. I usually only drink it as a treat occasionally. Sometimes you can find it on offer, but it is quite cheap compared to other fizzy drinks anyway, making it very tempting if you need to buy lunch somewhere.
The first thing you notice when you take a swig of irn bru is the immense sweetness. Then, a couple of seconds later you get a strange bitter-sweet aftertaste, which doesnt detract from the flavour, only makes you want another swig.
Be warned, once again this is a very sweet drink, but this is what makes it so nice. One more point. No aspartame. Many are worried about aspartame in our food and drink. As far as i know, by looking at the label, there is no aspartame in Irn Bru.

Summary: A delicious drink, but very sugary
