Name: Chiswick Bitter
ABV: 3.4%
Brewery: Fuller's
Style: Light Mild
Location: Chiswick, London
Aroma: A grassy hoppy aroma, slightly floral followed by notes of malt and maramalade.
Colour: Light amber with a one finger ivory coloured head.
Flavour: A light lingering bitterness, followed by lacings of malt, a background of fruity hops can be detected that gives it some edge, a residual spiciness from the use of Goldings leaves the mouth tingling. The mouthfeel is slightly chewy and biscuity, rather refreshing and quite light. Very sessionable and noticably lacks strength.
Verdict: An unobtrusive beer, that is notably light in strength but delivers in flavour, hops and bitterness can be detected though at a gentle level. It is effectively a rare version of a light mild, a style that is virtually extinct among brewers, its great to see Fuller's reviving this classic beer that helped establish their brewery.
Rating: 8/10
