Keg @ Drink? Hebden Bridge. Black with a creamy-frothy light brown head. It's very flavoursome, with very sweet roasted malts that become overbearing after a while.

Keg @ Drink? Hebden Bridge. Pinkish-red with a thin head. It's much heavier tasting than expected through a stated soured red berry fruitiness.

330ml bottle, many thanks to ManVsBeer. Pours an huge white head over a misty golden body, spotty lacing. Moderate tea-like hops on the nose, lightly spiced. Malt-fruity flavours, some spices, and a backdrop of yeasty fruitiness. Medium bodied. Fair enough. (Hotel Room, Leeds University 04.07.2019).

Hasy, tart IPA with a good hoppy hit, tangy tropical fruit. Somewhere between a pale and a sour but it's crisp and tasty, with a lasting fruitiness to it. Good stuff.

Cask @ Drink? Hebden Bridge, during a tap takeover. As far as I understand this beer it has rotating hops, but unfortunately the information about these was not supplied to the bar. As expected it's an easy drinking hoppy ale and golden-blonde in colour with a creamy head.
