This is certainly one of the mainstays of bargain bitter hunters the country over. It is, in fact, brewed by Marstons, but branded separately to maintain the premium end of their brand. It can be reliably found for 99p at a variety of shops and as such is ideal for parties or a budget night in. The beer itself is a touch sweet for my taste. I have always preferred my bitters on the bitter side and this falls afoul of that preference. Unfortunately, it has a slightly watery edge and for some drinkers it will be a touch flat. Otherwise it is perfectly pleasant which is impressive when the price is kept in mind. At 3.8% it can be drunk all evening, and as the evening goes on, it seems better and better. Standard rating 5/10, with the price in mind, a cheeky 6.
