Chiswick Bitter is Fuller’s popular session strength ale, which derives its name from the area of London where Fuller’s is based. This lower strength beer is held in high regard across the South East of England and, like its stablemates London Pride and ESB, has won the prestigious CAMRA Great British Beer Festival, Beer of the Year award, in 1989. In fact, Fuller’s is the only brewery in England whose top three brands have won this award: a fitting testament to the skill and dedication of the Fuller’s brewers!

Great English Bitter. Nice color and flavorful on the tongue. A great choice for a session beer.

Exceptional bitter, huge hop bag aroma from dry hopping, slightly thin body which is due to the low alcohol percentage but does nothing to detract from the overall product. A very flavourful session bitter. Re-tasted honeymoon in England, this has got even better, the flavours and body seem to have been beefed up a lot! I love this beer and drank a hell of a lot of it!

A really nice session bitter. Dry hopping stands out. Great flavor for 3.5% abv. Needs to be tasted in Chiswick.

One of my favourite bitters. Light bodied, but full of flavour. Dry hopping provides an awseome aroma. The quintessential session ale.

Rating 30th April 2002 -Tested cask-conditioned. A pleasent, mellow bitter. Like london pride but weaker. Rerate - I have grown increasingly fond of this beer - when kept well it is one of my favourite bitters. Rerating @ 3 fuller’s establishments. The General Havelock, Loudwater, Bucks. The Brewery & one of the pubs next to the brewery (name escapes me). This really is a vastly underrated bitter, that is almost never seen outside of the Fuller’s tied estate, shame.

This is what session bitter is all about. Gorgeous aroma of Golding’s - put your head in bag full of them and that’s what it’s like - fruity (orange and lemon?), floral and backed up by some (in the word’s of Protzy) biscuity malt. There is a firm but light malt body, lovely green hops (altough they slowly decrease over the period of time the cask is on) and good bitterness. It’s a bitter and it has the wonderful interplay between malt and hops with that classic English fruity yeast. If you’re American then you should love it as it adheres to a style incredibly well. A testament to English subtlety!
