Imitating a summer and holiday favourite Aldi has dubbed their budget beer 'Carista.'
The brew sells in four packs for a brilliantly low £3.99 making each bottle just a £1.
Budget retailer Aldi describes the beer as a "Mexican style lager" with the beverage obviously taking after summertime favourite Corona.
Bottles of the beer boast an impressive 4.5% alcohol volume and carry 330ml of the lager.
The packaging describes the beer as a "premium imported lager."
It goes on to guarantee goodness with large lettering reading "quality guaranteed."
The booze does come with an allergy warning however as it contains gluten.
Aldi wine dupes
WHY fork out for an expensive bottle of wine when you can virtually get the same taste, but for less?
Whispering Angel, £17
Aldi dupe: Chassaux Et Fils Atlantique Rosé, £4.99. Or Aldi's Sainte Victoire Provence Rosé, £12.49.
Cali Red by Snoop Dogg, £12/£13
Aldi dupe: The Reprobates Californian Red, £9.99.
Dark Horse Merlot, £10
Aldi dupe: Beachfront Malbec, £6.99
Laurent Perrier Rose champagne, £80
Aldi dupe: Crémant Du Jura, £8.99
Aperol Spritz, £17
Aldi dupe: Aperini Aperitif, £6.99
Already on Aldi shelves the four packs can be purchased at any store that has it in stock across the UK.
Aldi has also warned that prices may vary with minimum unit pricing applying in Scotland and Wales.
Perfect for a budget Father's Day gift the beer is just one of Aldi's many dupes.
Carista is based on Corona, a Mexican style lager usually drunk with a slice of lime.
It's perfect for hot summer days and a fan favourite holiday tipple.
The budget Aldi beer four packs net a total volume of 1.32 litres.
With the low price tag this translates to an impressive £3.02 per one litre.
The 330ml bottles equate to roughly half a pint making Carista possibly the cheapest pint in Britain.
A full pint of the beer, two bottles worth, would cost customers around £2.
Sadly the cheap beer can only be bought in stores and is yet to make its way into any pubs.
Carista would make the perfect budget Father's Day gift for a dad that likes a drink.
Anyone under 18 who hopes to buy the booze for their dad is out of luck though with Aldi warning that they will not sell to anyone under the legal age.
By comparison Iceland is selling a four pack of Corona for £6.50 which works out at around £1.60 per bottle.
