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.

An excellent and very much on style classic English bitter. A beer such as this is a thing of beauty and I enjoyed every sip. It was served at the right temperature and was a lovely dark brown colour in the tankard. Lots of malt gave a smooth mouth feel and there was just the right amount of bittering hops. A taste of biscuit, a slight sweetness and a welcome hint of farmyard. Thirst quenching and with the nice low abv it is eminently sessionable.

Cask at the Royal Oak, Knowl Hill. Chestnut with a dense cream head; fruity aroma - cherries and red fruit; fruity taste with underlying well roasted malts; then a clean English hop bitterness followed by lingering biscuit. A well-made bitter, satisfying and easy drinking.

Cask at the Lyndhurst - Reading. Pours clear copper with a frothy, light khaki head. Mild bready malts in the nose, hints of butter and leaves, grains. Light sweet flavor with lightly toasted grainy bread, toffee accents, a little earth and leaf. Light bodied with fine carbonation; the condition is decent. Nicely balanced on the finish, with more simple, toasty malts, subtle leafy bitterness, a dash of toffee. Easygoing bitter.

Bottle from Old Stand, Mullingar [050614]
Reddish caramel brown, clear, slightly off white off head, slight lacing
Aroma of soft toffee malts, soft fruity malt, slight zest hop, got a bit of an odd burnt toffee note initially
Taste of caramel malts, soft toffee, bit earthy, some bitter bit zesty hops, dab of buttery toffee toasted malts, the toffee malts are a bit unusual
Palate - soft carb, light to medium body, fairly bitter. Finish is quite dry, some earthy hops, toasted malts, dab of burnt toffee, fairly bitter linger
Overall - Thought this was a bit odd at first then got adjusted to it...not too bad, fairly average tbh. Prob much better on cask

Gravity dispense at Ascot Racecourse Beer Festival 2012 - 06/10/12. Clear chestnut brown with a thin off white head that soon bids a farewell! Caramel malt, toffee, subtle hints of mango and a little tropical fruit on the nose. Tastes of toffee, dark caramelised sugar, a little malt and some woodiness. Medium bodied leading to a bitter dry finish.

On gravity at Swindon beer festival 27/10/2011. Deep gold with a slight, off-white head. Sweetish cereal malt aroma with a pinch of grassy hops. Flavour had more, slightly bready malts with a decent, bitter finish. So-so.
