The experimental flavour creation is the work of Edinburgh brewers Vault City who release a limited supply of Iron Brew annually to coincide with celebrations of Scotland's National Bard.
Vault City co-founder Steven Smith-Hay said: “We’ve created our Iron Brew sour to pay homage to a drink that we truly love, and the demand is huge.
"There’s nothing better than a can of the good stuff!
“People love it and ask us to make this a permanent fixture, but dropping it once a year keeps it special.
“If we made it a year-round beer Barr might be a bit peeved, and I don’t want that because Irn Bru’s my favourite non-alcoholic drink, that’s why we made it! But then again, you never know what will happen in the future.”
