An Irn-Bru inspired sour ale collaboration between North and BrewDog. What a wonderful idea.

L- Irn-Bru orange. No other way to really describe it, as the colour was spot-on for mimicking the soft drink. Noticeable white head that still foams up even 15 minutes after pouring. Lots of bubbles floating...like a soft drink.
S- Standard sour ale smell.
T- Starts as a quasi-berliner, followed by some slight Irn-Bru-ness, but finished with some very dominant and bitter ginger. Almost like a soured ginger beer?
F- Don't know if the over-carbing was purposely done to mimic a soft drink, but the bubbles carry on and stick around for a while.
O- A neat idea for one of my favourite soft drinks, but the execution was just OK.
