Chiswick Bitter

After our pint of Explorer at the Crown we cruised on down to The Palm Tree, a lone standing orphaned building just off the canal in Mile End Park. The beer we decided to go with here was Fullers Chiswick Bitter (3.5% abv) an ordinary bitter with nice caramel character and a fruity hop aroma. Chiswick is without doubt that Holy Grail of the dedicated drinker, a pint that will satisfy all night and yet leave no nasty tricks behind the next morning. In short, this is the most quaffable pint from a brewery that specialises in such things. I would urge you to go and seek it out, and to berate the landlord of your local if he refuses to satisfy your yearnings for this most elegant of pints. Plus its also nice to have a pint from fuller which embraces EKG hops! Website
