Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular.
Ingredients: Pale malt; Northdown and Challenger hops. Dry hopped with Goldings.
GBBF Champion Beer 1989.
Slight change of recipe in 1999.
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!

Cask at The Artillery Arms, London. Pours amber with a frothy head. Flowery and earthy hop nose. Good bitterness, a hint of caramel. Light-bodied. A decent bitter

Cask 0.25L at Black Door RALE. Thin head, large bubbles. Pale golden brown colour. Mild grapefruity taste. Crispy hoppiness. Average maltiness. Fresh and fruity. Long lasting hoptaste.

Cask. At The Princes Head, Richmond. Deep amber pour, clear, average head. What’s there to say, really? - floral with a slight rye tang to the malt, slightly sour tasting and a bit "green" somehow. Average everything - frankly it’s a bitter, it’s the usual thing, it quenched my thirst but the Fullers ESBs I had after my obligatory "haven’t rated it, have to have it" was a lot better.

(At Black Door, Helsinki, on 2008-09-14) Amber. Clear. Medium sized lightly tan head with lace like edges. Malts and yeast in nose. Quite light and dry palate with little carbonation. Malts, bitterness, hops and yeast in taste. I suppose the cask has gone past its prime time.

Handpulled cask at Wheatsheaf, Ealing. I’ve not enjoyed Fullers much of late, but this little gem proved to me that they can still brew a good drop of ale. A lovely amber session bitter with a good lasting white head. Buiscuity malt with a very fresh dose of challenger hops. Why arn’t Fullers other beers still as good as this?
