#67 - Revisionist (Marston's) - Wheat Beer

There are no two ways about it - this is a bad effort.  Even at 4.8% it has a watery texture, with a disconcerting metallic aftertaste.  There seems to be relatively few other flavors with some reviewers claiming the smallest hints of a whole variety of flavors, from bananas, to coriander, to cloves.  Personally I found none of these, but would have not been surprised by either of the last two.  I thoroughly recommend that if you try this beer you serve it ice cold and with a slice of orange, not the least because it will minimize the flavor of the beer itself.  There are very good wheat beers on the market, beers that make you want to rush out and buy shares in the brewery, but this makes you want to avoid them as a genre.  A poor attempt at a delicate and beautiful beer.  5.4/10
