#40 - Marston's - Burton Bitter

As a cruel man who has yet to finish his first cup of morning coffee, Burton Bitter tastes the way a wet dog smells.  It is watery, has an unpleasant metallic hint at the end and could do with a large dollop of hops to add some much needed flavor, other than soggy biscuit.  There may be those who enjoy the 3.8% Burton Bitter, but I strongly suspect they were drinking it in the seventies and are still drinking it now.  The whole feel is just a bit shabby - a beer and a flavor palette that have seen better days and could now use a well-earned retirement.  It does have one thing going for it however, it is remarkably cheap, and with that in mind, what would be a 4/10 sneaks in at a cheeky 5.
