00:00Hello, so here we are today, we are in Alexandra Park on this beautiful bank holiday weekend

00:04with a special delivery from Iron Brew.

00:06With their two new flavours, their limited edition flavours for summer, inspired by Scottish mythology.

00:12We have a can of Nectar Nessie Iron Brew Extra, inspired obviously by the Loch Ness Monster.

00:17What that may taste like, that's what we're going to find out.

00:20And then we've got Unicorn Tears flavour. Unicorns are the national animal of Scotland.

00:24It also has a connection to Falkirk, the Kelpies in Falkirk.

00:29Where I'm from, and I was actually one of the first people to ever go to the Kelpies, so...

00:34And I'll be one of the very first people to try this.

00:37There we go. Let's open the box and see what's inside.

00:42The big reveal.

00:44Oh, what a beautiful box.

00:46What have we got here? We've got a can of Ice Cold Unicorn Tears Iron Brew Extra.

00:52And a can of Nessie Nectar.

00:56So I'm going to try both of these and then I'm going to let my cameraman try one.

01:00This is good because we can use it as a wee table.

01:03Recycling.

01:04So, as we see here, it's got a wee lovely picture of Nessie on the can.

01:08Does it give any indication what the flavour is?

01:10I don't know.

01:11Let's try.

01:12Mmm.

01:13It smells like a sweetie.

01:15Mmm.

01:16That's lovely.

01:17It's like tangy, like a chewy sweetie.

01:18With a hint of iron brew.

01:19I'm getting notes of cinnamon, citrus.

01:21Absolutely lovely.

01:22Should we go into the second one now?

01:23Lovely.

01:24So as we can see here, it's got the unicorn on the front, which is modeled after the kelpie.

01:31One kelpie.

01:32Mmm.

01:33Definitely different.

01:34I was quite convinced that they'd be the same thing, just in different packaging, but

01:37they're clearly not.

01:38Oh, that one tastes like sherbet or something.

01:39Oh, that one tastes like sherbet or something.

01:41Oh, I don't know.

01:42I don't know.

01:43I don't know.

01:44I don't know.

01:45I don't know.

01:46I don't know.

01:47I don't know.

01:48I don't know.

01:49I don't know.

01:50I don't know.

01:51I don't know.

01:52I don't know.

01:53I don't know.

01:54I don't know.

01:55I don't know.

01:56I don't know.

01:57I don't know.

01:58I don't know.

01:59I don't know.

02:00Well, I don't know.

02:01I don't know.

02:02I don't know.

02:03But they're clearly not.

02:04Oh, that one tastes like sherbet or something.

02:06Hmm.

02:07They both taste like variations of those sweets you get in the corner shop in your pick and

02:08mix.

02:09I think that one is my favourite to be honest.

02:10Nessie Nectar.

02:11Right, so now the cameraman is going to try.

02:13Bitty Nessie Nectar.

02:14That's a wee bit, like, more lemonade-y to be honest.

02:17I know what the sweetie thing you mean though.

02:18That's like, that's mer-sweeties, that's like bonbons or something.

02:20Blue bonbons.

02:21I'm probably just liking that because it's a blue can.

02:24Not a very good fire in brew.

02:26I'll just take these away.

02:28That's us, that was our taste test.

02:30They're both undeniably iron brew.

02:32Iron brew is at the heart of each of these flavours.

02:35But they both have their own thing going for them.

02:37I think they're both very good, to be honest.

02:38I would drink them both.

02:39My favourite is Nessie Nectar.

02:41It's probably more, yeah, more lemonade-y, more my kind of thing.

02:45That's maybe a bit sweet.

02:46But, no, I loved it.

02:47Thanks for watchin'.

02:48We'll attack that through there.
