hopIQ found 10 beers that share Iron Brew's sour and tart character. Classic Iron Brew flavour meets sour zing: sweet bubblegum, orange soda and tangy citrus, with a fizzy, nostalgic edge. It is the brewery's take on the nation's favourite soft drink, 4.8% in a 440 ml can, made with malted barley and oats. Earlier releases carried the name Iron Brew Sour, so regulars may know it under that label.
