#71 - Revisionist (Marston's) - Red Ale

This is my favorite of the bunch.  An interesting, well-hopped, and refreshing beer, albeit not without fault.  Like the other Revisionist beers, it has a thin watery quality that is simply infuriating.  Having said that it punches above its weight rather than, for instance, the rye ale which could clearly be even better.  At 4.2% this is the best of the bunch for use as a session beer, though it would perhaps best be served with strong flavored food.  At times bottles are not the best measure of a beer, and it would be worth seeking this out on tap to see if the thin watery taste is removed.  If that's the case it easily deserves a seven, but as it is, a  6.5/10 is the most it can be given.
