Beer of the Week: Fischer Bitter

Beer score: 5.4

Company: Heineken

ABV: 4.9
IBU: NA

Once upon a time, this French beer was brewed by the Brasserie Fischer brewery, but then they got bought out by the folks at Heineken, so ... take that for whatever it's worth, but at least you know.

Anyway, the French aren't usually known for making great beer, but I have to say this one isn't too bad, though I also wouldn't call it a superb beer. It's a bit dry and harsh for a bitter-style beer. There was next to no carbonation when I tasted this, leaving it with a bit of a flat texture, but it had a nice grainy, flowery taste to it.

You likely won't want to drink this regularly, but it's not an awful beer, which means it's at least worth giving a try.
