The first and arguably the most popular of Loose Cannon’s beers. ‘Bridge’ as it’s affectionately known always brings a smile to the face of its drinker with that delicious floral and slightly sweet finish. A fantastic session ale that covers a lot of bases for a wide range of people making it a popular choice for parties.

Copper coloured, traditional ‘bitter’. It kicks off with a good bitter bite, followed by plenty of flavour. A full and satisfying roundness.

Bottle from my brother for Xmas. Clear mid brown colour thin beige head. Malty ale yeast fruit aroma. Malty in the mouth. Some pepper hop finish. Hedgerow fruit and leaves. As a best bitter it's the kind of bitter I love. I love the taste of the malt. I like the hedgerow fruit the pepper hops. I bet this is great on cask. Must seek that out.

500ml bottle kindly gifted to me by my neighbour randomly. Pours a clear but very dark copper brown, barely any head. Aroma of caramel and nutty/biscuity malts. Taste of nutty/biscuity and caramel malts, seems slightly sweet at first but finishes with a pretty strong bitterness. Decent.
