#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.
