    Just trying this stuff for the first time. Glass bottle. It's better than diet juice or other similar juices like Coke Zero etc. Still not a patch on the normal Irn Bru though. Drinking this stuff fairly makes you realise just how much sugar there must be in a normal can of Irn Bru though! :eek1:

    What's the TC verdict. Good? Bad? Better than the normal stuff or not as good?

    Love the stuff

    For a drink with no sugar it certainly tastes close to the real deal

    I love it aswell, there is very little difference between the real stuff and extra imo.

    Although the real deal will always be my go to for a hangover :giggle1:

    I think the difference is noticeable, the original is far nicer. Read they're going to be changing the original recipe as well, so it contains less sugar, bit concerned about that.

    From what I gather the stuff they put in sugar free fizzy drinks makes them just as bad for you, so if people are drinking irn brutal xtra for health reasons, probably better off just buying the normal stuff, or if you're seriously conscious about it, drink water.

    Irn Bru Extra is one of the best sugar free gingers around. However sugar free ginger is about as pointless as non * alcoholic lager.

    Either go baw deep with the real stuff or drink water.
