Irn Bru’s latest venture is made with a blend of spiced ginger and cinnamon.
The quirky drink comes packaged in a red can with the firm’s trademark logo on the front.
Unlike the OG drink, however, this special edition also features a giant snowflake as a nod to the festive season.
The new flavour has inspired awe and ire as dozens hopped online to share their views.
Some shoppers called for the drink to be “left alone”, while another simply said “ew”.
One user said: “As a Scottish person. Some things are just best left alone. Can’t beat the OG drink. Some things just need leaving alone.”
Others, however, enthused it’s the perfect teetotal tipple for Christmas.
One shopper said: “I got some yesterday, quite like it! It’ll never replace the 1901 stuff but it’s a pleasant drink for Christmas
Another added: “That sounds tempting!”
Winter Bru will roll out across shops from November 1 for a period of eight weeks.
It will be available in a 330ml can for £1.09.
Last year, the firm announced two new limited edition flavours that were said to taste like childhood sweets.
The Raspberry Ripple flavour and Wild Berry Slush were a huge success as fans rushed to stores to buy them.
One thrilled shopper took to social media and said: “The raspberry ripple one is lush.”
As a second chimed in with: “It tastes like Drumstick lollies.”
As a third agreed, saying: “I liked it tasted like a drumstick lolly to me.”
“Yesssirr that drinks my favourite flavour Irn Bru bought four cans of the raspberry ripple it was that good,” said another.
Before a final shopper commented: “Irn Bru is my all time favourite drink so wasn’t sure about these flavoured ones, but this tastes and smells exactly like a drumstick lolly. Soooooo good!!”
As others compared the interesting new flavour to an ice cream arctic roll, a classic screwball dessert or even raspberry sauce you find in an ice cream truck.
With one describing it as having “heavy nostalgic vibes of going to an ice cream van and asking for a screwball ice cream and they put that raspberry sauce on it. Taste vibes”.
