To me, it seems clearly derived from Aperol.
Let's not start dissing root beer. Root beer is delicious and I wish it was more readily available here.
Morrison's occasionally have Virgil's root beer and cream soda in stock. Mmmmm
Googling says it's "citrus / ginger / creamy / fruity" often compared to bubblegum, tutti-frutti, grapefruit and cream soda with a metallic iron aftertaste.
Hope you appreciate the accurate clarification.
Apparently nice with some whisky in. I'd imagine the whisky is nice without the Irn Bru!

Everyone knows that AI will do a better job, so I ChatGPT'd it.
Irn-Bru is a popular Scottish carbonated soft drink known for its unique and distinctive flavor. It's often described as having a sweet, citrusy taste with a combination of fruity and bubblegum-like flavors. The drink has a bright orange color and a refreshing, effervescent quality. Some people compare its taste to a mix of flavors like orange, vanilla, and other secret ingredients, which contribute to its iconic and somewhat difficult-to-pin-down flavor profile. Overall, Irn-Bru has a distinct taste that sets it apart from other sodas, making it a beloved and recognizable beverage in Scotland and beyond.

It tastes like the tears of our defeated English enemy at bannockburn, freedom, and type 2 diabetes, in equal measures..
So the reduced sugar version must taste of an oppression complex, expensive ferries and campervans and the metallic aftertaste of data roaming during a Rangers-Celtic game.
Tastes vile warm, but lovely when ice cold.
Do people serve it mulled then?
I just bought and drank a can of diet Irn bru a wee while ago, very very refreshing it was too
I forgot to check the shiny silvery tin before I carefully jumped on it and put it in the re cycling receptacle to be used once more if it had a Royal warrant of appointment along with Colman's,Cadbury and Twinnings for services to a throat as dry as Gandhi's flip flops
Only £3 for 8 tins in Morrisons
it tastes marginally better than Tennent's.
(I imagine it does anyway. I can only remember drinking Tennent's. A pint bought in haste for post West Highland Way return box ticking and photographic purposes. Repented at five unpleasant minutes' leisure. The taste of mild anticlimax and disappointment. I could probably get used to it, to be fair.)
Ahhhh – but without googling – what is ‘bubblegum’ flavour?
Well, it's Irn Bru flavour (obvs)!
It used to taste of vanilla - a bit like cream soda.
In the interests of science, I bought some this morning.
Hmm. Well it's certainly not "vile", don't think I'd choose it very often though. The flavour is probably... orange. The colour, not the fruit.
Best summed up by the label on the bottle I think: made of 100% recycled plastic 😉
Apparently nice with some whisky in
Apparently should be made with Drambuie.... which is not something I would spoil my irn bru with
Hmm, I have whisky. And I have IronBru.
Tonight. 🥃

Irn Bru tastes like a less fancy Crodino, with more sugar.
I was struggling one year with decals for a build ahead of Mountain Mayhem - This just seemed to work:
Looks wonky but is aligned just fine.
In 1863, Robert Barr, the son of a Falkirk cork-maker, was brewing tea on this spot when he accidently knocked over his kettle. To his surprise, the hot water dissolved some of the rocky outcrop on which he sat, turning it into a bright orange, effervescent liquid. Out of curiosity, but with much trepidation, Barr tasted the resulting concoction and was surprised to find it had a unique, slightly metallic, and not entirely unpleasant flavour
Realising the opportunity, Barr borrowed enough money to purchase the land around the outcrop. He then set to work mining what he called his guid ore which he turned into a health tonic he named Iron Brew and advertised as being made in Scotland from 'guid ore. It was an instant hit, and within a matter of months it had made hir a millionaire many times over.
By 1890, Barr had extracted all of the guid ore he could and despite an exhaustive search he couldn't locate another source. By then he'd stock-piled enough to ensure the continuous production of his Iron Brew (which was rebranded as Irn-Bru in the 1940s) until 2037, but .. after that date, the company he founded will no longer be able to produce any more.
In 1892, Barr sold the mine to the Caladonian Railway Company, who used it as the basis of a new rail way line connecting the west of Glasgow to the city centre via this tunnel.
However, the steam from the engines mixed with the last traces of guid ore in the rock, creating a distinctive dour which made it unpopular with the more refined residents of Glasgows fashionable west end and it closed soon after.

Great pic of the frame and a nice pair of Bombers, all colour coordinated
What frame is it

That plaque is brilliant.

I think you will find that if you head out with an outdoor centre group around the Trossachs, that aqueducts and hydro power pipes all to Glasgow as they need the orange peaty water to create Iron Bru. Or so the instructors tell all the kids...
