Bottle from Drink? Hebden Bridge. The last of my HDM bottles, sat in my cellar for 3 years, but fine when opened. Amber-brown with a frothy-bubbly head. Extremely sweet brown ale, with a darker fruitiness associated with this. Nose is sweet too, and the ale has a mild activity in the palate. Brown ale malts are evident.

Bottle from Drink? Hebden Bridge. Golden with an extremely thin head. Has a 2016 sell by date but absolutely fine condition. Hoppy with the lime dominating in both aroma and taste. It's slightly tangy in the latter respect, and provides a higher citrus factor to the ale.

Bottle from Drink? Hebden Bridge. Cloudy dark amber with a thin head. Has a somewhat dour, dirty aroma for a sour, but is better in taste. Considering its been fermented by Huddersfield air there’s a good blast of lemon amongst its sourness, which is not overly sour. Its strength is fairly evident too.

Bottle from Drink? Hebden Bridge. Hazy dirty orange-amber with next to no head. Its strength is evident firstly in its nose, and again in its taste with slightly tangy and somewhat stewed fruits.
