We first had an ale from Abingdon's Loose Cannon brewery at our Autumn beer festival in September. "Abingdon Bridge", the brewery's first product ended up being rather popular, taking the beer of the festival award, with no-one who voted giving it less than 6 out of 10. The 4.1% ABV ale - mid brown in colour, full flavoured with a well rounded bitterness and a floral aftertaste - has also proved to be very popular since then when we have had it on the bar, selling out in record time on two occasions. It'll be on the bar in the run-up to this festival as well as at the festival itself in the guise of our Champion ale.
In addition, two further ales, known as "Loose Cannon Pale Trial 1" and "Loose Cannon Pale Trial 2" should be there. Both will be pale and 3.7% ABV. Trial 1 should be smooth, almost sweet, delicate, slightly spicy whilst Trial 2 should be lemon/grapefruit citrus aroma. This may differ in the finished beers though. One of these beers will likely go on to become Loose Cannon's second staple brew.
Spoke to Will this morning and ... "The first brew was done yesterday and all went well. We are just starting brew 2 now. Both should be ready next week."
We look forward with interest...
